The State of Peppre is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.877 billion Peppreans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Pepprean economy, worth 74.5 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,165 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is famous for having one of the world's largest deer hunting institutions, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peppre's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peppre is ranked 85,108^th in the world and 1^st in Queensland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
