The Democratic Republic of Petromaggia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Andrea Giordano with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.869 billion Petromaggians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.8%.

The all-consuming Petromaggian economy, worth 214 trillion Maggirs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,842 Maggirs, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and countless government officials are accused of espionage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petromaggia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Petromaggia is ranked 148,897th in the world and 6,991st in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 30.22 quips per hour.
