The Constitutional Dictatorship of Peatiktist is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mme Boss with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.307 billion Peatiktistians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurgh. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Peatiktistian economy, worth 358 trillion Peats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,362 Peats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Peatiktist, the government is funneling billions into Cape Peatiktist following the shuttle crash, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and a light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peatiktist's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wheelism.

Peatiktist is ranked 12,772^nd in the world and 436^th in The East Pacific for Most Devout, with 1,739.04 Prayers Per Hour.
