The Norwegian Republic of Petrozad is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jonas Gahr Støre with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 813 million Petrozadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oslo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.0%.

The powerhouse Petrozadian economy, worth 82.3 trillion Francs 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 an impressive 101,245 Francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,647 per year while the poor average 26,248, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Criminals are thrown to the Fjord horses to repay their debt to society, Fjord horses are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', the government is flooded with compensation requests, and parents ask their ten-year-olds for help with their government-mandated book reports. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petrozad's national animal is the Fjord horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Petrozad is ranked 206,087^th in the world and 10,258^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 21.63 on the Hayek Index.
