The Constitutional Dictatorship of Peatiktist is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mme Boss with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 14.493 billion Peatiktistians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurgh. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Peatiktistian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Peats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,754 Peats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Mme Boss is wearing this season, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Peatiktist's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peatiktist's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wheelism.

Peatiktist is ranked 125,601^st in the world and 1,997^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,376.41 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
