The People's Nation of Pelagon is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by National Congress of Syndicates with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 6.216 billion Pelagians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,900 trillion drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 305,815 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, parents who try to organize playdates for their kids have police drop through their ceilings, governors and mayors are back to begging for allowances from the nanny state, and kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelagon's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Nationalism.

Pelagon is ranked 131,002nd in the world and 43rd in Conch Kingdom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,234.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
