The Great Prybournean Smog Cloud, also known as the Great Smog, is a massive cloud of smog that covers most of Prybourne and its surrounding waters. The smog is a byproduct of the country's unregulated and extensive industrial activities, which have been ongoing for decades. Medical researchers have long studied the smog's impact on health, and it has become clear that the smog is a major environmental disaster with severe public health effects. The smog has had a devastating impact on the environment and agriculture in Prybourne. As a result of the smog, agriculture and vegetation are almost nonexistent in the country, making it reliant on foreign imports for food. The limited sunlight exposure also makes it challenging to generate renewable energy, resulting in expensive energy infrastructure. The country is almost completely dark at most times, which has severely impacted the quality of life of its citizens.
The adverse health effects of the smog are extensive, affecting most of the population. The effects range from stinging eyes to coughing and respiratory distress. The conglomerate of Prybourne has maintained that the smog is a side effect of progress and an acceptable concomitant to profit, ignoring the devastating impact it has had on the environment and public health. The smog has also had a significant impact on air travel in Prybourne. Due to the intense condition it places upon air traveling vehicles, there is a lack of air traffic in the country. This has further isolated Prybourne from the rest of the world, making it difficult for the country to trade and travel.
