The National Republic of Phoenxia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Reikmenster Malekski with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.81 billion Phoenxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kassau. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Phoenxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,659 trillion Phönixmarks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,981 Phönixmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a desperate bid for cheap airfare Phoenxians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Golden Eagles and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoenxia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phoenixian Orthodoxy.

Phoenxia is ranked 192,912^th in the world and 17^th in Markion for Fattest Citizens, with 9.46 Obesity Rate.
