Nation/Pepis

The Republic of Pepis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cocacika jones with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.506 billion Pepisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cloa. The average income tax rate is 85%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Soda Sales.

Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, school uniforms are compulsory, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pepis's national animal is the grizzly bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is pop's, and its currency is the Cloas.
