The Really Big Farma of Photrisistan is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, devout population of 11.931 billion Photrisistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Photrisistanian economy, worth 550 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,160 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Photrisistan's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Photrisistan is ranked 239,405^th in the world and 2,278^th in The catholic military orders for Most Developed, scoring 52.05 on the Human Development Index.
