The Ελληνιστικό Βασίλειο of Peucestas is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Satrap Peucestas the Persian with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.588 billion Andarian Stellar Persian Warriors hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antiochia in Persis. The average income tax rate is 24.6%.

The Andarian Stellar Persian Warrior economy, worth 220 trillion Tetradrachms a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,530 Tetradrachms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, artists can sign away their music on luxury paper with freshly-squeezed squid ink, and allergy-sufferers must wear gas masks before venturing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peucestas's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pantheism.

Peucestas is ranked 93,245^th in the world and 2^nd in The Eridanus Constellation for Highest Poor Incomes, with 32,789.25 Standard Monetary Units.
