Perth Country (Lainerovan étendard: Phénoupeurte) is a region of South Neviersia. It shares borders with The West Layners to the south, the country of Manima to the west, the Upper Norlands to the north, Midland Region to the east, and a five-kilometre border with The Durbanites to the southeast. The town of Perth, which the region is named after, is the seat of government of the Perth Country Regional Council. With a population of 1,748,000 as of 2024, and a land area of 112,396 square kilometres, Perth Country is one of the most sparsely populated regions in South Neviersia.
The region is best known for the Perthian Hills, which encompass the entire region. This has contributed to the 'Perthian Tiger' in the early 2000s, when multiple local businesses opened within Perth Country to accommodate the rising number of tourists. Skiing, hiking and hunting are common pastimes.
