The Republic of Pepelloland is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6 million Pepelloes 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 large government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pepellolandian economy, worth 193 billion Dinguses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,230 Dinguses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, military funding has been stripped back, all recreational drugs are legal, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pepelloland's national animal is the elephant.

Pepelloland is ranked 125,963^rd in the world and 2,148^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,542.23 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
