The Republic of PEPDEC is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by PM PUSHKAR PAL with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.414 billion PEPDECians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NewDec. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient PEPDECian economy, worth a remarkable 1,851 trillion Qremtacas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 288,733 Qremtacas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, tax rises are attributed to divine will, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and behind every local dictator is a PEPDECian advisor whispering in their ear. Crime is totally unknown. PEPDEC's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

PEPDEC is ranked 15,218^th in the world and 7^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,020.05 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
