The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 19.401 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 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 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pekwengnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,834 trillion Crons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,081 Crons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

People talk about things being better when men were men, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and birth announcements often also serve as death announcements. 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 250,530^th in the world and 9,603^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -13.76 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
