The 90-degree angle of Perpendicular Bisector is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Line Segment PQ with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.522 billion Perpendicular Bisectorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point S. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Perpendicular Bisectorian economy, worth 618 trillion Protractors a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,541 Protractors, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 944,028 per year while the poor average 17,001, a ratio of 55.5 to 1.

Tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, children play ring-around-the-rosey around bonfires of videogame cartridges, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perpendicular Bisector's national animal is the Geometry teacher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Measuring.

Perpendicular Bisector is ranked 9,360^th in the world and 3^rd in Penguin Land for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 42,934.98 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
