Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Pepoland is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.37 billion Pepolandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pepolandian economy, worth 130 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,251 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Pepoland, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, and robosexual marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pepoland's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pepoland is ranked 204,109^th in the world and 3,748^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.41 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
