The Republic of Peaty Bliland is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36 million Peaty Blilandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The strong Peaty Blilandian economy, worth 1.81 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,179 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,412 per year while the poor average 3,145, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Peaty Bliland's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peaty Bliland is ranked 283,886^th in the world and 4,951^st in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
