The City-State of Petalumadom is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 36.384 billion Petalumadomians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Petalumadomian economy, worth a remarkable 6,289 trillion cypresian bills a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,853 cypresian bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', Bird is one of the most popular forenames in Petalumadom, and the streets are ravaged by murder and violence to prove political points. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Petalumadom's national animal is the bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Petalumadom is ranked 279,163rd in the world and 658th in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -322.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
