The Republic of Pellavania is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.278 billion Pellavanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Pellavanian economy, worth 477 trillion clasps a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,932 clasps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown. Pellavania's national animal is the hermit crab.

Pellavania is ranked 40,504^th in the world and 2^nd in Dispatchia for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
