The Brazilian Federation Kingdom of Petriland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King John Petronia Sanderson II with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.342 billion Brazilians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasília. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Brazilian economy, worth 474 trillion JPSMoney-Stantvias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 202,569 JPSMoney-Stantvias, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and King John Petronia Sanderson II's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. Crime is totally unknown. Petriland's national animal is the jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Petriland is ranked 154,656^th in the world and 63^rd in The United Democratic States for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2,074.04 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
