The United Socialist States of Perie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 748 million Peri 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aguesia. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Perian economy, worth 44.5 trillion Lapiers 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,476 Lapiers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sweat stains are proof of political acumen, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, Peri ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perie's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Perie is ranked 122,282^nd in the world and 117^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,711.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
