The A republica democrática of Fenix sangrenta is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by David Pollock with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.072 billion Fenix sangrentanos 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aratack. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fenix sangrentano economy, worth 325 trillion Mings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 156,882 Mings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Air purifiers fight smoke machines on Fenix sangrentano stage setups, costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, David Pollock's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime is totally unknown. Fenix sangrenta's national animal is the Fenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is fé nos divinos.

Fenix sangrenta is ranked 281,129^th in the world and 136^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.79 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
