The United Tribes of Petea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ariki Heikura with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.394 billion Pētea are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pūtaputapu. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pētea economy, worth 607 trillion Tāras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,298 Tāras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Petea's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, homophobia is off the menu, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Petea's national animal is the Tropicbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pētea Animism.

Petea is ranked 7,888^th in the world and 236^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,829.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
