The 90-degree angle of Perpendicular Bisector is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Line Segment PQ with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.468 billion Perpendicular Bisectorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point S. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Perpendicular Bisectorian economy, worth 604 trillion Protractors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,169 Protractors, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 950,401 per year while the poor average 16,348, a ratio of 58.1 to 1.

After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, compliance officers smash the kneecaps of unethical bureaucrats, and the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perpendicular Bisector's national animal is the Geometry teacher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Measuring.

Perpendicular Bisector is ranked 306,611^th in the world and 9^th in Penguin Land for Most Cultured, scoring 33 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
