The Republic of Philjia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arthur Fleet with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.702 billion Philjians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newcastle. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Philjian economy, worth a remarkable 5,712 trillion Philjian Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,261 Philjian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down, religious education is a new government priority, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philjia's national animal is the Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Philjia is ranked 1,619^th in the world and 28^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Food Quality, scoring 292.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
