The Republic of Petrin is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.342 billion Petrinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Petrinian economy, worth 302 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,719 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Petrin' is a smash hit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Petrin's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Petrin is ranked 35,051^st in the world and 1^st in Prague for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,453.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
