The Free Purple Land of Pegawai

“And still those voices are callin' from far away”

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

The Free Purple Land of Pegawai is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.898 billion Pegawaians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Pegawaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,476 trillion golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 187,004 golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,687,362 per year while the poor average 2,525, a ratio of 668 to 1.

Political candidates must be personally vetted by Leader, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, and the Pegawaian military is limping towards victory. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pegawai's national animal is the zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pegawai is ranked 2,050^th in the world and 5^th in DGO for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 184,386.72 Standard Monetary Units.
