The Federal Plutocracy of Petrovah is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Finnius Wydell with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 22.377 billion Petrovans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiscoll. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Petrovahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,448 trillion Augs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,435 Augs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,980 per year while the poor average 24,228, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petrovah's national animal is the Pet.

Petrovah is ranked 53,045^th in the world and 3^rd in The Meme Must Go On for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 174.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
