The Empire of Periklia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Dimitrius with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.77 billion Periklians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perikloupoli. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Periklian economy, worth 888 trillion Koronas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,343 Koronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the government has enacted freedom of information, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Periklia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solarionisn.

Periklia is ranked 310,217^th in the world and 5,810^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 2.09 Atheism Rate.
