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 complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 6.341 billion Pelagians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,942 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 306,284 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. 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 331,664^th in the world and 112^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 7.8 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
