The Republic of Philetia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Phillip Farentella with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.706 billion Philetians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philetia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Philetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,230 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 183,493 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Philetian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the internal market is thriving, and cigarettes are dead-cheap. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Philetia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Philetia is ranked 287,879^th in the world and 7,047^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
