The Most Serene Republic of Perlemont is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.187 billion Perlemontians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patrís. The average income tax rate is 63.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Perlemontian economy, worth 73.3 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,753 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perlemont's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Perlemont is ranked 230,336^th in the world and 8,613^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,725.34 Standard Monetary Units.
