The Nomadic Peoples of Peripatetic Vagabonds is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hobo King with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.035 billion Peripatetic Vagabondsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tumbleweed. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Peripatetic Vagabondsian economy, worth 526 trillion Shoe Leathers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 87,307 Shoe Leathers, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers can't decide if they're more embarrassed by their parents or the country's leader, Peripatetic Vagabondsian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, and the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Peripatetic Vagabonds's national animal is the Shanks Mare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Peregrinations.

Peripatetic Vagabonds is ranked 49,928^th in the world and 14^th in Gypsy Lands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,117.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
