The Democratic Republic of Phoidoss is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.266 billion Phoidossians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoidoss City. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phoidossian economy, worth 571 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,020 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Phoidossian Space Agency, Leader's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoidoss's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Phoidoss is ranked 6,109^th in the world and 2^nd in The Creeds for Most Cultured, scoring 143 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
