The Republic of Perendinate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.67 billion Perendinateans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumburgh. The average income tax rate is 21.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Perendinatean economy, worth a remarkable 2,003 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,153 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

For some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Perendinateans like vultures, Air Perendinate is rumored to receive more government funding than the Perendinatean Air Force, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Perendinate's national animal is the Sloth, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Beer.

Perendinate is ranked 39,322^nd in the world and 6^th in Just relax for Most Corrupt Governments, with 54.85 kickbacks per hour.
