The Fraternity of Phi Delta Theta is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.749 billion Phi Delta Thetans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.1%.

The strong Phi Delta Thetan economy, worth 267 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,559 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', and thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phi Delta Theta's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Phi Delta Theta is ranked 301,123^rd in the world and 3^rd in Moonrunners for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
