The Sanghwa Federation of Peredniy is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 9.675 billion Peredniyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Peredniyian economy, worth 658 trillion perednyian dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,044 perednyian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Peredniy's national animal is the arctic bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Peredniy is ranked 120,936^th in the world and 21^st in Greater Middle East for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,973.09 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
