The Empire of Peyerij Mond is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Douglas MacArthur with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.849 billion Peyerij Mondians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aiur. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Peyerij Mondian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,547 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peyerij Mond's national animal is the human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is McCarthyism.

Peyerij Mond is ranked 34,624^th in the world and 1,906^th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
