The United Federal States of Phii is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by James Frens with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.563 billion Phiians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novataia. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phiian economy, worth 477 trillion Emerald Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,046 Emerald Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody wants to know how the sausage is made, leisure is a crime in ski towns, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phii's national animal is the Red-Tailed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ice-Creamism.

Phii is ranked 28,226^th in the world and 755^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,742.04 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
