The Peafowl Conglomerate of Peacockastan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Peter Finch with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.516 billion Peacockians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pavo. The average income tax rate is 2.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Peacockian economy, worth a remarkable 2,319 trillion Pea Peas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 171,607 Pea Peas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, and the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Peacockastan's national animal is the Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Way of The Feather.

Peacockastan is ranked 334,553^rd in the world and 113^th in Lands End for Most Pacifist, with 3.58 cheeks turned per day.
