The Republic of Ppn is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 120 million Ppnians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ppnian economy, worth 2.89 trillion francs 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 24,081 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ppn's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ppn is ranked 312,049^th in the world and 1,569^th in Pacifism for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,464.06 Standard Monetary Units.
