The Resilient Nacre of Cultured Pearls is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pearl Diver with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 26.425 billion Cultured Pearlsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ago Bay. The average income tax rate is 59.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cultured Pearlsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,812 trillion Nacres a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 219,974 Nacres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, media bosses are discovering the cost of being free, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cultured Pearls's national animal is the Shelled Mollusk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mother-of-Pearl.

Cultured Pearls is ranked 15,359th in the world and 110th in NationStates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,215.38 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
