The Honorable Commonwealth of Pekweng is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rodrigo Santillan with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 23.377 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 4,120 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 176,249 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, supervisors in Pekweng commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns. 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 3,924^th in the world and 85^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,069.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
