The Republic of Peetl is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Kouloin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 936 million Peetlians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.2%.

The all-consuming Peetlian economy, worth 100 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,268 euros, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Judges are all-powerful, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, the true length of the coastline of Peetl may never be measured, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Peetl's national animal is the bat.

Peetl is ranked 77,899^th in the world and 64^th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,809.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
