The United Administrative State of Pellinor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Waters with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.738 billion Pellinori are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veyer Bay. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pellinori economy, worth 208 trillion stochels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 119,440 stochels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, Chancellor Waters's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pellinor's national animal is the Sandhill Crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Milquarianism.

Pellinor is ranked 226,177^th in the world and 41^st in Audinesca for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
