The Republic of Pelepen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Conchicktador with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.312 billion Pelepenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chickenini. The average income tax rate is 34.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelepenian economy, worth 230 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 176,005 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pelepen's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pelepen is ranked 10,511th in the world and 207th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 94.68 Atheism Rate.
