The Theocracy of Falling Petals is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 242 million Petals are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Petalian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Seeds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,443 Seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Falling Petals's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Falling Petals is ranked 149,814^th in the world and 1,084^th in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,059.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
