The British Commonwealth of Petrixia is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.687 billion Petrixians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The powerhouse Petrixian economy, worth 549 trillion Petradins 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 71,528 Petradins, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, the nation's skies are now a wasteland, black tea is only available on the black market, and museums offer moralization or your money back. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petrixia's national animal is the Goblin Macaque, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Petrixia is ranked 5,727^th in the world and 2^nd in Pax Indica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 10,750.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
