The Himbo of Petea is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ariki Heikura with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.94 billion Pētea enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pūtaputapu. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pētea economy, worth 880 trillion Tāras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,196 Tāras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Petea's national animal is the Tropicbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pētea Animism.

Petea is ranked 24,415^th in the world and 263^rd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 48.98 flags saluted per person per day.
