The Kingdom of Phorious is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 296 million Phoriousians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The very strong Phoriousian economy, worth 19.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,534 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, school uniforms are compulsory, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phorious's national animal is the Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Phorious is ranked 287,013^th in the world and 454^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Populations, with 296 million capita.
