The Boeotian Dolls of Athena and Phevos is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by athena and phevos with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.235 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 9%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, smoking is banned in public areas, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athena and Phevos's national animal is the Olympic mascot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tala.

Athena and Phevos is ranked 11th in Funen and 84,731st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
