The Colony of Peligo is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 416 million Peligoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The all-consuming Peligoan economy, worth 38.7 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,137 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 436,744 per year while the poor average 11,841, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.

Huge explosions in the sky are a daily occurrence in the cities, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, for just a few extra bitcoins Peligoans can get new driving records with their new cars, and politicians tend to favor bombastic speeches and kissing babies now that they've been banned from social media. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Peligo's national animal is the pelican, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Peligo is ranked 46,966^th in the world and 1,494^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 76.56 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
