The Republic of Phualand is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ethan with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.733 billion Phuanese 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Nogawa. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Phualandian economy, worth 459 trillion Phua dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,286 Phua dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phualand's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phualand is ranked 27,886^th in the world and 1,212^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 241,768.26 Standard Monetary Units.
