The Federal Republic of PhoenixXxx is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 26 million PhoenixXxxians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The strong PhoenixXxxian economy, worth 1.27 trillion USDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,962 USDS, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Harry Potter books are banned, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PhoenixXxx's national animal is the Phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

PhoenixXxx is ranked 102,545^th in the world and 2,390^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
