The Half Holy Maroon Oligarchy of Pelariac is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Oligarch Maestro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.72 billion Pelariacians 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, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pirouline. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Pelariacian economy, worth a remarkable 2,224 trillion Pelarcians a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 255,121 Pelarcians, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,613,196 per year while the poor average 16,838, a ratio of 95.8 to 1.

The Penguin has a hungry look, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, and Oligarch Maestro reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pelariac's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pelariac is ranked 5,379th in the world and 413th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 216.97 kickbacks per hour.
