The Republic of Perendinate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.702 billion Perendinateans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumburgh. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Perendinatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,991 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,786 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Perendinatean politicians, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Perendinate's national animal is the Sloth, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Beer.

Perendinate is ranked 281,928^th in the world and 16^th in Just relax for Safest, scoring 4.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
