The Armed Republic of Parasiticide Peebles is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18 million Parasiticide Peeblesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Parasiticide Peeblesian economy, worth 1.20 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 66,795 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 329,789 per year while the poor average 7,698, a ratio of 42.8 to 1.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Parasiticide Peebles's national animal is the mouse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Parasiticide Peebles is ranked 111,486^th in the world and 4^th in Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,795.99 Standard Monetary Units.
