The Republic of Pht is a mid-sized, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 80 million Phtians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Phtian economy, worth 3.05 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,079 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pht's national animal is the dove.

Pht is ranked 144,672^nd in the world and 2^nd in Three Letter Words for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 448.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
