The Republic of Perisnan is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 50 million Perisnanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Perisnanian economy, worth 1.60 trillion Aures a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,915 Aures, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, extreme political groups are outlawed, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Perisnan's national animal is the Monkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Perisnan is ranked 137,645^th in the world and 3^rd in The Republic of UMS for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,258.22 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
