The Macedonian Empire of Pelagonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 45.045 billion Pelagonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Environment also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 75.8%.

The strong Pelagonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,822 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,466 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelagonia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pelagonia is ranked 129,257^th in the world and 1^st in Lithuania for Highest Food Quality, scoring 18.07 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
