The Democratic Republic of Phoidoss is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.461 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, liberal, outspoken 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 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phoidossian economy, worth 611 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,415 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

According to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, triple black diamond is the only ski difficulty, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Phoidossian Moonshine", and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. 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 8,344^th in the world and 2^nd in The Creeds for Highest Poor Incomes, with 136,627.11 Standard Monetary Units.
