The Commonwealth of The Peek is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King-Chieftain Tombolio I with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 1.61 billion Peekers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Peak. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Peekish economy, worth 240 trillion toris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,363 toris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Peekish restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Peek's national animal is the peekbear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Peek is ranked 225,576^th in the world and 3^rd in Hoodfade Republic for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,022.52 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
