The Allied States of Perazhake is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 445 million Perazhakeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Perazhakean economy, worth 29.0 trillion retans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,072 retans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, all facts are created equal, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Perazhake's national animal is the sparrow.

Perazhake is ranked 86,841^st in the world and 84^th in Aeternum for Smartest Citizens, with 38.19 quips per hour.
