The Republic of PP-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 20.956 billion PP-1ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The PP-1ian economy, worth 691 trillion $$s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,983 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and PP-1 has designated PP-1 City as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PP-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PP-1 is ranked 15,350^th in the world and 1^st in Phnom Penh for Largest Populations, with 21.0 billion capita.
