The State of Pelagie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.15 billion Pelagieans 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Administration aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Pelagiean economy, worth a remarkable 1,361 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,081 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 125,497 per year while the poor average 10,423, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Pelagie's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all tariffs have been abolished, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pelagie's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pelagie is ranked 1,002nd in the world and 1st in Papal States for Most Stationary, with 4,752.7052916 days.
