The Constitutional Dictatorship of Peatiktist is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mme Boss with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 13.226 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 large, well-organized 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 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Peatiktistian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 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 98,483 Peats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and the media seems excessively interested in what Mme Boss is wearing this season. 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 18,458^th in the world and 481^st in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 122.02 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
