The Republic of Peetl is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kouloin with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.034 billion Peetlians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Peetlian economy, worth 107 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,197 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pedants defending Kouloin observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, and truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Peetl's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Peetl is ranked 279,968^th in the world and 291^st in NationStates for Safest, scoring 5.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
