The Unholy Dictatorship of Pearmonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harold Chophedd-Keelguy with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.368 billion Pearmonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Education receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gluesomme. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Pearmonian economy, worth 62.0 trillion polvoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Cheese Exports. 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 18,395 polvoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Balder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Pearmonia's national animal is the pez, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Haroldism.

Pearmonia is ranked 234,223^rd in the world and 9,941^st in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 202.15 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
