peasantry 

From French "paysannerie", meaning "place of the country dwellers".

The class consisting of peasants and serfs (country people, mostly farm workers) in an agricultural society, in which peasants are the most common type of people (can be anywhere from fifty to ninety-five percent of the people).

Peasants are usually poor and live in villages and work farmland which practically belongs to them but is owned by lords.
Thanks to the incompetence of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, the peasantry were losing their land and suffered from inflated prices for bread.

The peasantry worked hard, but at least they knew their place and their allies. Appearances were minimal for farm workers, their operations were small scale; they had nothing to lose. The nobility had everything to lose.

An especially pathetic, low to moderate income individual that attempts to inflate their perceived social status by acquiring material goods sometimes associated with their wealthier counterparts - but immediately identifiable as peasants by their attempts to do so.

Peasants often attempt to acquire things like Louis Vuitton purses, lower end version BMW or Jaguar automobiles, large but poor quality solitaire diamonds for rings, new version cell phones, trendy sunglasses, and bottle service tables at nightclubs.
Such individuals typically lack the education or worldly exposure to realize that they actually look like low class impostors to anyone wealthy enough to comfortably afford such high end consumer items.
The women waiting in the free guest list line at the nightclub were clearly identifiable as peasants despite their Louis Vuitton purses and imitation Omega watches.

Peasantopia 

An alliance of peasants forged to dominate any country with a large population of peasants willing to rise up against their government for the sake of inferiority. Their strategy for conquest is assaults on a series of random targets around the globe failing to take advantage of any strategic positions and never conquering any great amount of territory in a single area. Their deity is the butter atop all great mountains and preferred weapon is a plastic butter knife.
When Peasantopia mounts assault on laos the peasants pull together to hurl themselves upon the laotian armies until the massive piles of their decaying bodies cause their enemies to choke to death in a kill ratio of aproximately 1000 peasant lives to a single laotian.
