The Kingdom of Percyland is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 29 million Percylandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Percylandian economy, worth 580 billion Mews a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 20,018 Mews, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean, and nation-building is the new national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Percyland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Percyland is ranked 280,005^th in the world and 6,163^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -77.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
