The Republic of Pervincia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor John Howard with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.144 billion Pervincians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pervincia City. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pervincian economy, worth 631 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,678 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pervincia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pervincia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Octuism.

Pervincia is ranked 4,519^th in the world and 10^th in Conch Kingdom for Healthiest Citizens, with 20.64 bananas ingested per day.
