The State of Petersen Folly is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.146 billion Petersen Follyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Petersen Follyian economy, worth 946 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 36,194 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,081 per year while the poor average 1,944, a ratio of 126 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and Petersen Folly has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Petersen Folly's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Petersen Folly is ranked 49,803rd in the world and 7th in Taipei for Most Stationary, with 908.90300857948 days.
