The Armed Republic of M26 Super Pershing is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.885 billion M26 Super Pershingians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong M26 Super Pershingian economy, worth 348 trillion AP Shells a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,250 AP Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the M26 Super Pershing City Natural History Museum, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M26 Super Pershing's national animal is the Tank, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

M26 Super Pershing is ranked 189,852^nd in the world and 138^th in Resuscitation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
