The Republic of Peachtip is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.023 billion Peachtipians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Peachtipian economy, worth 115 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 11,488 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, women across the country are tying the knot, and Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peachtip's national animal is the emu.
Peachtip is ranked 70,617th in the world and 945th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,908.76 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
