The Republic of Pepelloland is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The devout population of 10 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, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pepellolandian economy, worth 321 billion Dinguses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,123 Dinguses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, all recreational drugs are legal, voting is compulsory, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. 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 230,027^th in the world and 3,282^nd in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
