The Republic of Pella is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Legate Marco Nagata with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 8.906 billion Pellans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pellapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The very strong Pellan economy, worth 558 trillion denaris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 62,740 denaris, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,950 per year while the poor average 14,545, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Pella is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Pella's many privately-owned prisons, and orange is the new black for judicial robes. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Pella's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Tellurism.

Pella is ranked 198,996^th in the world and 3^rd in Macedonia for Largest Black Market, with 499 billion Standard Monetary Units.
