The Dominion of Peldamo is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 365 million Peldamala are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Timbrenting. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Peldalillo economy, worth 20.2 trillion pennies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,412 pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Peldalillo citizenship, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and the tightness of border controls in Peldamo leave a little to be desired. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peldamo's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Peldamo is ranked 8,925^th in the world and 8^th in Saint Osmund for Safest, scoring 120.86 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
