The Federal Republic of Pepperton

“Courage, Honor, Persistence: Defenders of Liberty”

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

The Federal Republic of Pepperton is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 332 million Peppertonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Peppertonian economy, worth 25.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,649 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter, the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime is totally unknown. Pepperton's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pepperton is ranked 82,774^th in the world and 1,594^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,075.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
