The Peafowl Conglomerate of Peacockastan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Clyde The Peacock with a fair hand, and notable for its feral children, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.055 billion Peacockians 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, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peacock Central. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Peacockian economy, worth a remarkable 1,761 trillion Pea Peas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 175,231 Pea Peas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 581,305 per year while the poor average 39,424, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

The people have taken "Hail Clyde The Peacock" as an invitation to lob rocks, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, politicians tack on a service charge for assisting with casework, and it is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Peacockastan's national animal is the Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Way of The Feather.

Peacockastan is ranked 6,007^th in the world and 19^th in Lands End for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 581,306 Standard Monetary Units.
