The Democratic Somatic Probity of Permeria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by General Secretary Zhao-Liu with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.868 billion Permerians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halgrad. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Permerian economy, worth 466 trillion Labour Vouchers 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 Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 162,586 Labour Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, anti-government web sites are springing up, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown. Permeria's national animal is the Zhoubian Wobeggong Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheist.

Permeria is ranked 20,742^nd in the world and 18^th in Declansburg for Highest Average Incomes, with 162,586.64 Standard Monetary Units.
