The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 28.656 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 5,826 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 203,316 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and a state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese. 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 315,611^th in the world and 4,115^th in The East Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -35 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
