The Inexplicably Surviving Land of Peake is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Davey Christian with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 13.871 billion Peakeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mystopia. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Peakean economy, worth a remarkable 2,224 trillion peamarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 160,361 peamarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peake's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Peake is ranked 1,232^nd in the world and 1^st in Big History 2023 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,655 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
