The Republic of Petrosiania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.953 billion Petrosianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halikoupolis. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Petrosianian economy, worth 155 trillion Skones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,642 Skones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and the Petrosianian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petrosiania's national animal is the Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Petrosiania is ranked 131,706^th in the world and 179^th in The Free Nations Region for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 741.13 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
