The Return of Peter Pan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Peter Pan with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.239 billion Peter Panians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bangerang. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Peter Panian economy, worth a remarkable 1,830 trillion Pans a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 90,445 Pans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, punitive tariffs protect local industry, it is illegal to own a mobile phone, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peter Pan's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is The clock in the croc.

Peter Pan is ranked 324,480^th in the world and 4,956^th in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
