The New Cruor Federation of Greater Pendulum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 27.086 billion Pendors are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harrisnekt. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Greater Pendulumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,823 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,313 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Pendulum's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Greater Pendulum is ranked 88,225th in the world and 156th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Stationary, with 517.54708543632 days.
