The Glorious Holy Empire of Phoenix Coalition is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Phoenix Ember with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 20.147 billion Phoenix Coalitionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Phoenix Coalitionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,542 trillion Phoenix Sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,207 Phoenix Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and Emperor Phoenix Ember is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoenix Coalition's national animal is the Ultra Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Emperor Phoenix Ember.

Phoenix Coalition is ranked 278,989^th in the world and 275^th in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
