The Republic of Peju is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working population of 312 million Pejus have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pejuan economy, worth 29.9 trillion Pejus a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 95,832 Pejus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and environmental legislation occurs cyclically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Peju's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peju is ranked 272,468^th in the world and 280^th in The Wellspring for Most Extreme, scoring 7.51 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
