The Republic of Persenelonia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 728 million Persenelonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mardinus. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Persenelonian economy, worth 94.8 trillion Perseses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,264 Perseses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Perses charge on their phone bill, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Persenelonia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Persenelonia is ranked 50,049^th in the world and 572^nd in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,682.4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
