The People's Republic of Periklia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Periklis with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.481 billion Periklians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perikloupoli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Periklian economy, worth 609 trillion Koronas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,009 Koronas, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Periklis to meetings with foreign heads of state, the government builds houses for foreign newcomers, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Periklia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solarionisn.

Periklia is ranked 45,592^nd in the world and 1,432^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,704.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
