The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 28.632 billion Pekwengnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katherinia. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pekwengnian economy, worth a remarkable 5,809 trillion Crons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,904 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 242,609^th in the world and 2,989^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
