The Templar Empire of Fenikkusu is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nornir Siegfried Amaro with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.358 billion Fenikks are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlheim. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fenikk economy, worth 378 trillion Gold Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,712 Gold Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fenikkusu's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Order of Arkhar.

Fenikkusu is ranked 199,024^th in the world and 288^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
