The Makasta puppet of Peting is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 6.141 billion Petingians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Petingian economy, worth 530 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 86,407 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and Petingian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peting's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Peting is ranked 47,418th in the world and 699th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Stationary, with 926.0377059466 days.
