The Technate of Pelipistan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chief Technocrat Aydina Mehrayin with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 3.619 billion Pelips are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sardahan. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pelip economy, worth 545 trillion tala a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 150,674 tala, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, there's a bright dawn ahead for Pelipistan, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned steppe eagleball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelipistan's national animal is the steppe eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mazdayasna.

Pelipistan is ranked 243,089^th in the world and 236^th in Wintreath for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 18,984.99 Standard Monetary Units.
