The Armed Republic of Petroli is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Yuriy Tarasov with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.083 billion Petrolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Makarov Square. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Petrolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion Petrolas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 251,338 Petrolas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, atheists on vacation find Chemistry's scriptures make useful doorstops, schoolchildren are arrested for possessing sidewalk chalk without a permit, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petroli's national animal is the Woodland Abomination, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chemistry.
Petroli is ranked 343,259th in the world and 288th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
