The Postmodern Globalist State of Persicaria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Eternally Young Chairman Persica with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.337 billion T-Dolls are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Area S09. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Persicarian economy, worth 197 trillion Yuan 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, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 147,515 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, the word "mother" is the favourite punchline of ribald comics, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Persicaria's national animal is the catgirl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Waifuism.

Persicaria is ranked 63,206^th in the world and 402^nd in The Communist Bloc for Nudest, with 197.5 cheeks per square mile.
