The Colony of Pettos is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Primus with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.583 billion Pettosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perrera. The average income tax rate is 42.4%.
The all-consuming Pettosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,095 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 114,319 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Conspiracy theorists allege Perrera's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, carefully-staged grief is displayed by Primus after national disasters, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, and children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pettos's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.
Pettos is ranked 22,790th in the world and 1,231st in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 21.25 average smiles per day.
