The Most Serene Republic of Phyila is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning crocodile population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.029 billion Phyilans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The strong Phyilan economy, worth 49.5 trillion marks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 48,066 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Phyila's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Phyila is ranked 61,484^th in the world and 1^st in a025a for Rudest Citizens, with 73.44 insults per minute.
