The Democratic Republic of Petrolera is a large, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 196 million Petreans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Petroleran economy, worth 17.6 trillion Petrean Bolívars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,622 Petrean Bolívars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Petreans make research institutes rich, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime is totally unknown. Petrolera's national animal is the Arara-Azul.

Petrolera is ranked 36,981^st in the world and 28^th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 106.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
