The Republic of Pepelloland is a mid-sized, cultured nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The devout population of 96 million Pepelloes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Pepellolandian economy, worth 2.99 trillion Dinguses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,152 Dinguses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pepelloland's national animal is the elephant.

Pepelloland is ranked 118,653^rd in the world and 1,719^th in The North Pacific for Nudest, with 150.75 cheeks per square mile.
