The Glimmer of The Pearly Gates is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Penny Pearl with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 25.705 billion Pearls are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Public Transport and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pearly Town. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Pearly economy, worth 516 trillion Rasts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,099 Rasts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Penny Pearl's bedroom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pearly Gates's national animal is the Lolo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pearlianism.

The Pearly Gates is ranked 168,687^th in the world and 4,140^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 286.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
