The Grand Duchy of Peossons is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Premier Steven Marshall with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.037 billion Peossonsians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bundaberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.3%.

The thriving Peossonsian economy, worth 374 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 74,279 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Premier Steven Marshall, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, and slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Peossons's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Peossons is ranked 324,354^th in the world and 4^th in National Citizens Coalition for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 93.05 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
