The Ancient Kingdom of Pedda is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Inath with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.748 billion Peddans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pedda. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Peddan economy, worth a remarkable 2,296 trillion manas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 340,334 manas, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-mana charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pedda's national animal is the rabite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Esina's Black Mirror.

Pedda is ranked 26,503^rd in the world and 18^th in Japan for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
