Pelinai (Pelinese Hinomoto: ペリナイ, Karnetvorian: Пелинай), officially the Kingdom of Pelinai (Pelinese Hinomoto: ペリナイ王国, Karnetvorian: Королевство Пелинай) is a small state located in the South Pacific, on the southeasternmost peninsula of the continent Bailtem. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on its west, the Eastern Ocean to its east, and the Golden Strait separating continental Pelinai and the island of Zholtiya Zemla. It possesses a humid subtropical climate in the coastal regions of continental Pelinai and on Zholtiya Zemla, as well as humid subtropical highland and alpine climates in its interior. The Pelinese state encompasses a total area of 80,746km2 and an estimated population of 54.342 million (estimated 2022). The Kingdom of Pelinai is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a ceremonial monarch and an independent, democratically elected civilian government headed by the Pelinese State Parliament. The Kingdom of Pelinai is composed of four prefectures, each of which maintain a measure of autonomy in domestic affairs and elect ministers of parliament to represent them in the Pelinese State Parliament: Korolyeviya Prefecture, covering most of Pelinai’s eastern coast, Letograd Prefecture, which encompasses the southernmost areas of continental Pelinai, Zholtograd Prefecture, which covers the island of Zholtiya Zemla, and the capital state of Pelograd Prefecture on the Mediterranean coast.
Etymology
The Kingdom of Pelinai derives its name from its patron saint and founder, Saint Pelinai, who founded the Pelinayaka Orthodox Christian denomination and was the primary driving force encouraging Reizener exiles’ settlement of the territory that would later be incorporated into the modern Pelinese nation.

Energy
Pelinai has a nationalized energy grid, with all providers of electricity and electricity distribution services being owned in whole or in part by the Pelinese state. Nuclear fission-derived energy is the largest source of electricity generation capacity, and a combination of light-water and molten-salt reactors contribute 76% of total Pelinese grid capacity. Another 19% of capacity is provided by wind energy, and the remaining 5% is a mix of solar, waste incineration, and fossil fuels. Emergency capacity is provided by natural gas fueled power stations. The Pelinese government is actively pursuing the expansion of thorium-fueled nuclear power plants.
Infrastructure
Manufacturing
Mining and extraction
The Kingdom of Pelinai possesses a large supply of mineral ores due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Rift and other tectonic features, as well as abundant petrochemical and natural gas resources. The entirely public-owned Pelinese mining industry, led by the Ministry for Strategic Resources, mines and processes a wide variety of metals, rocks, and other products. Prominent deposits include the Zholtograd Igneous Complex, the Korolyeviya Igneous Complex, the Tanaka Mine’s iron oxide copper gold deposit, the Mediterranean Massive Sulfide Ore Deposits, and the kimberlite pipes at Ivanov Mine and North Creek Mine. Other deposits exist, including heavy mineral sands deposits along the coastline of mainland Pelinai. Resources extracted by Pelinese companies in significant quantities include antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, germanium, gold, hafnium, indium, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, platinum group metals, rare earth elements, rhenium, selenium, silver, sulfur, tantalum, tellurium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, and zinc. The Pelinese economy benefits greatly from its reliable access to domestic production of most technology-critical elements, and the Kingdom of Pelinai is the only South Pacifican producer of several.
In addition to minerals, Pelinai also mines gemstones in relatively high volume. These include diamonds, zircon, orthoclase and moonstone, jade, zircon, and various species of garnet, tourmaline, beryl, corundum, quartz, and spinel. Gemstones have held a place of prominence in Pelinese culture since the early 19th century, and the production of faceted stones and jewelry is a well developed industry in Pelinai.
Pelinese companies extract oil from both terrestrial and offshore oil wells within the Pelinese exclusive economic zone, and large amounts of coal are mined as well. All coal produced in Pelinai is either used as a feedstock for chemical production or converted into oil through CTL coal liquefaction and processed into fuel. Natural gas and helium are also harvested in significant volume and used for industrial processes. The Kingdom of Pelinai currently has no plans to slow or cease its extraction or usage of petrochemical resources.
Pelinai quarries multiple varieties of rock for construction and industrial usage, including granite, marble, basalt, mica, and slate. Most quarries are in the northwestern mountains of Pelinai, where a broad selection of high quality stone can be found.
The Kingdom of Pelinai is one of the largest exporters of noble gases in the world due to its large cryogenic fractional air distillation industry, which proliferated in the early 21st century in order to take advantage of consistently low electricity prices. The largest complex performing CFAD is in Letograd, with smaller facilities in Zholtograd and Korolyeviya.

Religion
Aside from the SRB era in the late 1970s, Pelinakaya Orthodox Christianity has remained both the overwhelmingly dominant religion in Pelinai and its explicit or implicit state religion since its founding in the late 18th century. Aggressive persecution under the communist regime failed to significantly reduce the percentage of Pelinayaka adherents in Pelinai, and the Pelinayaka Orthodox Church remains a powerful and entrenched institution in Pelinese culture and public life.
The Kingdom of Pelinai is consistently considered to be one of the most deeply religious nations in the world. Freedom of religion and right to worship are both enumerated rights in the Pelinese State Constitution, but lack of religion is not named as a protected category and Pelinese laws tend to favor Pelinayaka moral beliefs in the realm of social policies. 96.2% of Pelinese citizens are Pelinayaka Orthodox Christians, with an additional 2.7% following “Pelinayakized” religions adopting some Pelinayaka traditions and holidays and the remaining 1.1% belonging to all other religions and irreligion.
