The You're It of Piekezot is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Black Jack with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.596 billion Piekezotians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Administration are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Piekezotian economy, worth 932 trillion Cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 36,449 Cards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 247,809 per year while the poor average 1,958, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Black Jack has just been declared ruler of Piekezot in an international press conference and Crazyness has been named as Piekezot's national religion. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Piekezot's national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Crazyness.

Piekezot is ranked 47,734th in the world and 9th in Vlaanderen for Highest Food Quality, scoring 34.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
