The Principality of Pelbar is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Bison Bill with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.518 billion Pelbarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pelbarigan. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pelbarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,556 trillion Credits 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,368 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Pelbarian as 'your finger, you fool', twins are held culpable for the actions of their siblings, the real art was the AI friends we made along the way, and every day is laundry day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelbar's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is IHOP.

Pelbar is ranked 25,806^th in the world and 28^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,414.8 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
