The Grand Empire of New Pekoland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Mookara with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.266 billion Nousagians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pekamura. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nousagian economy, worth 622 trillion Pera קs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,661 Pera קs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and the might of the entire Nousagian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Pekoland's national animal is the Beast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Sora.

New Pekoland is ranked 1,588^th in the world and 1^st in Newlandia for Most Patriotic, with 81.18 flags saluted per person per day.
