The Holy Imperial republic of Phoenix state is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Athanasios lll with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.051 billion Phoenexian are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Finikoupolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Greek Phoenexian economy, worth 504 trillion Phoenixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,277 Phoenixes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 633,039 per year while the poor average 29,784, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, and the stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Athanasios lll's rear echelons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoenix state's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Greek Orthodoxy.

Phoenix state is ranked 160,650^th in the world and 32^nd in Avaldonia for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
