The Sementes of Pevides is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Comité Semental with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.028 billion Pevideses are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pevidesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,333 trillion Pevides a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,954 Pevides, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 386,164 per year while the poor average 36,233, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, and children receive government-sanctioned brainrot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pevides's national animal is the Melon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pevides is ranked 65,384^th in the world and 4^th in Portugal de Esquerda for Largest Populations, with 10.0 billion capita.
