The Commonwealth of Persiria is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 484 million Persirians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Persirian economy, worth 17.8 trillion Rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,822 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Persiria's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Persiria is ranked 148,267^th in the world and 14^th in Arctic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 471.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
