The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 23.364 billion Pekwengnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katherinia. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pekwengnian economy, worth a remarkable 4,118 trillion Crons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,271 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rare steaks seem even bluer now, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, supervisors in Pekweng commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pekweng's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pekweng is ranked 3,403^rd in the world and 92^nd in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 235.97 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
