The Democratic Republic of Pelmost is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 22.273 billion Pelmostians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soila. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Pelmostian economy, worth 743 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,363 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, a major religion has been named as Pelmost's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Pelmost in an international press conference, and the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pelmost's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pelmost is ranked 206,559^th in the world and 2^nd in United America for Highest Food Quality, scoring 11.44 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
