The Federation of Perktonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Porgie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.468 billion Perktonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perktropolis. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Perktonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion luckies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 253,695 luckies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, and it's scientifically provable that Perktonian guys don't know how to make a woman happy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perktonia's national animal is the polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Porgism.

Perktonia is ranked 107,842nd in the world and 60th in Geopolity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 184 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
