The Phoenix Union of Natzinville is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Croissant Malingerer with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.577 billion Natzinvillians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcedol. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Natzinvillian economy, worth 869 trillion Lorkois a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,991 Lorkois, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation", government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and the media seems excessively interested in what Croissant Malingerer is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natzinville's national animal is the Jellephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wormism.

Natzinville is ranked 7,640^th in the world and 1^st in Shiseballs for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,861.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
