Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Holy Penen Strofflennejas is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Pope with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.175 billion Holy Penen Strofflennejasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Holy Penen Strofflennejasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,825 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 232,049 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Holy Penen Strofflennejasian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Penen Strofflennejas's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Holy Penen Strofflennejas is ranked 322,952^nd in the world and 15,306^th in Lazarus for Most Pacifist, with 5.09 cheeks turned per day.
