The Vesperist Peoples Union of Petrokovia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keifouram Isabella Morrigan with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 26.13 billion Petrokovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasnograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Petrokovian economy, worth a remarkable 6,077 trillion Standard Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 232,573 Standard Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, domestic cruise ships fly the Petrokovian flag out of fear of being blown up, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petrokovia's national animal is the Vestal Cave Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sith-Vesperism.

Petrokovia is ranked 5,801^st in the world and 1^st in Cinderia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 12,776.63 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
