Praria is one of 14 states in Sheaman that is situated in the Southeast of Sheaman and is bordered by Lower Andrulasias, El Disfiladero, and Camoscos. The state has a population of 1,420,000, making it the 7th most populated state out of 14. Praria is naturally divided with Lower Andrulasias and El Disfiladero by a large mountain range called the Schokatoa or Schokatoa Mountains. Praria is known for having the largest settlement of Native Sheamans as well as the most diverse native groups that include 14 different tribes. Praria's population is made up of 22% Native Sheamans and more than half of Native Sheamans are not part of or live in a tribe.

Praria first saw settlement in 1696 by French explorers/colonists who developed the first French Praria colony. This colony saw peaceful sentiment with the natives for the next five years, but when the English annexed Sheaman in 1701, they wanted to speed of the process and so they attacked and conquered tribes that refused to become a part of Sheaman. This led to a major deterioration of tribal relations between England and the tribes. It finally led to a war in 1705 called the Sheaman Native War that lasted until 1708. The result of the war was a victory for Sheaman and agreement was established that would allow the United Kingdom to colonise any native land against the natives that participated in the war. Colonisation of Praria became final in 1729, and all the land in Praria had been colonised by the United Kingdom. The post-colonial period in Praria was a slow declination of native population and misrepresentation of natives in Praria.

Native Sheamans, specifically Native Prarians, were major supporters the Maxifolian Independence Movement due to the promise that a Maxifolian state would support the rights of natives. Throughout the first Maxifolian rebellions in the 1790s until the Maxifolian War for Independence between 1834 to 1844, Native Prarians supported the wars and often participated in them. After a form of autonomy was established in Sheaman in 1844, natives saw no improvement of their rights and became restless. It wasn't until 1851, when Martin Von Coloras was elected, that natives finally saw protection for their land and rights for their people. The first Native Prarian elected to parliament was Yama'aktal Akuran in 1886 as a FSP MP. He remained a FSP MP until 1892 and later returned to parliament as a ADSP MP in 1906 and remained an MP until his death in 1917.

Praria was not selected to become a state in 1950 due to some supposed racism among S&L MPs. Joseph Jacks denied that his party and its members were racist and instead cited that Native Sheamans were worried about what a Prarian government would do to their independence and protection. This changed in 1980 when Praria was picked to become a state by Prime Minister, David McAffa. After the state's formation, the population elected a right-wing government which lasted until 1991. It was then replaced by a left-wing government that lasted until 2006, another right-wing government from 2006 - 2021, and a left-wing government since 2021.
