The Theocracy of Peopir is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Bishop Nihil with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.746 billion Peopirians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Null City. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Peopirian economy, worth 733 trillion Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 195,700 Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourism is a euphemism for committing crime in international waters, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and kids showing an interest in reptiles are given government-funded cobras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peopir's national animal is the Chameleon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nothingism.

Peopir is ranked 39,974th in the world and 27th in Dystopian Utopia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 212.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
