The Protectorate of Phoenix is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Parhean Rhinoceros population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.424 billion Parhasques 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 40.2%.

The Phoenixian economy, worth 371 trillion Parhean Tongboes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 32,544 Parhean Tongboes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Phoenix's national animal is the Parhean Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phoenix is ranked 118,628^th in the world and 4,005^th in Lazarus for Most Politically Free, scoring 57.33 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
