The Ancient Kingdom of Pedda is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Inath with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.761 billion Peddans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pedda. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Peddan economy, worth a remarkable 2,302 trillion manas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 340,567 manas, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

The public transport system has been eliminated, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pedda's national animal is the rabite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Esina's Black Mirror.

Pedda is ranked 279,511^th in the world and 108^th in Japan for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
