The Republic of Peopitando is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 1.349 billion Peopitandoans 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The Peopitandoan economy, worth 55.1 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 40,838 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peopitando's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Peopitando is ranked 218,439^th in the world and 6^th in Puppet Storage for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
