The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 23.311 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 4,117 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 176,634 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Pekweng and have breakfast in Bigtopia, President Rodrigo Santillan's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, people find it hard to relate to soldiers because of the dehumanising masks they wear, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. 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 284,962nd in the world and 5,096th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
