The Republic of Phydios is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Ross with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12.179 billion Phydiosians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sula. The average income tax rate is 79.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Phydiosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,996 trillion quinoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,896 quinoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, private law firms are unheard of, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phydios's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phydios is ranked 5,931^st in the world and 9^th in Right to Life for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.91 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
