The Kingdom of Petea is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 208 million Peteans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Petean economy, worth 15.4 trillion Tārās a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,182 Tārās, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, no one born in Petea can fix a leaky faucet, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petea's national animal is the tropicbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Petea is ranked 39,093^rd in the world and 50^th in Confederacy of Layem for Most Patriotic, with 23.52 flags saluted per person per day.
