The Republic of Holy Penen Strofflennejas is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Pope with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.538 billion Holy Penen Strofflennejasians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Holy Penen Strofflennejasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,151 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,175 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, people on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures, and some of the country's most famous photographers are animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Penen Strofflennejas's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Holy Penen Strofflennejas is ranked 14,342nd in the world and 1,018th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
