The Republic of Phenang is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working population of 1.033 billion Phenangians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Phenangian economy, worth 47.2 trillion florins a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,724 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phenang's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Phenang is ranked 230,554^th in the world and 1^st in Penang for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
