The State of Phares Judah is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 42.924 billion Phares Judahians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.2%.

The very strong Phares Judahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,852 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,151 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,739 per year while the poor average 4,269, a ratio of 53.8 to 1.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, Phares Judahian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime is a problem. Phares Judah's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Phares Judah is ranked 1,409^th in the world and 1^st in Phares Judah for Largest Populations, with 42.9 billion capita.
