The Republic of Republic Phoenix is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 221 million Republic Phoenixians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.2%.

The very strong Republic Phoenixian economy, worth 14.8 trillion RSDS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,897 RSDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, Republic Phoenix City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic Phoenix's national animal is the Phoenix.

Republic Phoenix is ranked 36,553^rd in the world and 1,267^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
