The Im Waiting for that Hammer of Petraev is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.521 billion Petraevans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petravgrade. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Petraevian economy, worth 734 trillion Wolfic Shervonets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,098 Wolfic Shervonets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

You're only as old as you feel, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Petraev to be bombproof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petraev's national animal is the Petraeven Hrvbsval, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Petraev is ranked 193,908^th in the world and 124^th in Stygian Abbey for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.31 Effective Tax Rate.
