The Federal Communal Republic of Pelatepe is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hugo Varela Sá with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.369 billion Pelatepans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Paz. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelatepan economy, worth 562 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 167,026 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, on-duty Air Pelatepe flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelatepe's national animal is the black bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pelatepe is ranked 3,807^th in the world and 28^th in The Internationale for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 89.91 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
