The Triarchy of Perulon is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Triarchs with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 31.42 billion Perulenes love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Triarch Tower. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Perulene economy, worth a remarkable 2,704 trillion xehads a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,078 xehads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nine out of ten citizens of Perulon answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, military funding has been stripped back, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and the most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perulon's national animal is the equinel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Perulon is ranked 11,603^rd in the world and 1^st in Asela for Nicest Citizens, with 28.74 average smiles per day.
