The Technate of Pelipistan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chief Technocrat Aydina Mehrayin with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 3.691 billion Pelips are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sardahan. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pelip economy, worth 565 trillion tala a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 153,237 tala, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are no more heroes any more, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, trespassers entering Chief Technocrat Aydina Mehrayin's office are immediately vaporized, and the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelipistan's national animal is the steppe eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mazdayasna.

Pelipistan is ranked 9,344^th in the world and 26^th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,893.54 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
