The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 23.115 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 4,058 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 175,588 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, a passport is literally priceless, and tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers. 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 4,666th in the world and 109th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 173 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
