The Confederacy of PeterThiel is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 417 million PeterThielians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient PeterThielian economy, worth 52.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 126,115 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,142,207 per year while the poor average 1,645, a ratio of 694 to 1.

Accidentally dropping a nickel is a social taboo, the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, and protestors are soaking piles of dollars in blood to make a point about government incomes. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PeterThiel's national animal is the poor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

PeterThiel is ranked 327,511^th in the world and 5^th in Bormla for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
