The Federation of Peamels is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dick Rogers with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 19.746 billion Peamels 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 Welfare, Public Transport, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peam. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Peamelsian economy, worth 267 trillion Coins 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. 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 13,530 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dick Rogers has just been declared ruler of Peamels in an international press conference, Nihilism has been named as Peamels's national religion, astronomers are flocking to Peamels to take advantage of its clear night skies, and moonshine and organized crime are on the rise ever since alcohol was banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peamels's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nihilism.

Peamels is ranked 6,378th in the world and 12th in Philippines for Most Stationary, with 2,907.6728613104 days.
