The Republic of Perendinate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.781 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, Environment, and Healthcare 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 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Perendinatean economy, worth a remarkable 2,287 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,983 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Beer.
Perendinate is ranked 227,372nd in the world and 11th in Just relax for Most Extreme, scoring 12.52 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
