The Free State of Phoeczenu is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Paipa Rara with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 21.631 billion Phoecuenes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zreah. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phoecuene economy, worth a remarkable 2,313 trillion Nyusis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,971 Nyusis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, Phoeczenu recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoeczenu's national animal is the Painted Kakapo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phoeczenu is ranked 58,691^st in the world and 8^th in The LCRUA for Highest Average Incomes, with 106,971.29 Standard Monetary Units.
