The Principality of Pelbar is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Bison Bill with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.482 billion Pelbarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pelbarigan. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pelbarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,556 trillion Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,666 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

River banks are having massive withdrawals, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Bison Bill to meetings with foreign heads of state, voters must decide whether to go number one or number two, and Pelbarian husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelbar's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is IHOP.

Pelbar is ranked 12,570^th in the world and 29^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 59.95 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
