Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Grand Unified Federation of Perimeter Defense is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Adrianne Cain with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 16.137 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyvils. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, all tariffs have been abolished, and omnipedes are considered a delicacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perimeter Defense's national animal is the omnipede, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the credit.

Perimeter Defense is ranked 91st in Equilism and 99,994th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -40 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
