The Democratic States of Peropero is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 5.985 billion Peroperoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The strong Peroperoan economy, worth 392 trillion Zigurds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,638 Zigurds, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Peropero's national animal is the Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Peropero is ranked 281,949^th in the world and 6^th in Pekolandia Republics for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 8.64 Effective Tax Rate.
