The Free Hell of Pekis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Peter Flame with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 25.252 billion Pekisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pekisia. The average income tax rate is 29.9%.

The strong Pekisian economy, worth 726 trillion Peks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 28,751 Peks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Pekis has designated Pekisia as its capital city, and Peter Flame has just been declared ruler of Pekis in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Pekis's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Satanism.

Pekis is ranked 186,271^st in the world and 2^nd in The Kharkis Accord for Safest, scoring 50.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
