The People's Republic of Periklia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Periklis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.413 billion Periklians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perikloupoli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Periklian economy, worth 585 trillion Koronas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,411 Koronas, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Disputed territories across The North Pacific are being claimed by Periklian college students, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, and parking's carefree without parking car fees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Periklia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solarionisn.

Periklia is ranked 6,470^th in the world and 304^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
