The High Athelingric of Peluble is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.193 billion Pelubleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 79.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelublean economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,472 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peluble's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Peluble is ranked 11,632^nd in the world and 5^th in Snep for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 61.36 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
