The Community of Peakwood Pines is a huge, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 870 million Peakwood Pinesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Peakwood Pinesian economy, worth 38.9 trillion nooks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,720 nooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, local government operates tolls on every village road, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peakwood Pines's national animal is the tanuki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peakwood Pines is ranked 10,609^th in the world and 24^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 120.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
