The Clipfarming State of Pemos is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 757 million Pemosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pemos City. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pemosian economy, worth 53.2 trillion Crusts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,313 Crusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and the armed forces have declassified their next-generation document shredder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pemos's national animal is the fih💔, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pemos is ranked 194,732^nd in the world and 4^th in Waves of Memes for Smartest Citizens, with 24.89 quips per hour.
