The Foínix Aftokratoría of Megistos is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mysterious Idol with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.852 billion Mᴇgistians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Paix. The average income tax rate is 77.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mᴇgistia economy, worth 908 trillion Frᴇies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 235,828 Frᴇies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has returned all business to private ownership, Mysterious Idol's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, Mysterious Idol steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime is totally unknown. Megistos's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Phoenixi Orthodox.

Megistos is ranked 21,904th in the world and 624th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 111.14 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
