The Republic of Phydios is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Ross with a fair hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 25.677 billion Phydiosians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sula. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phydiosian economy, worth a remarkable 4,013 trillion quinoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 156,316 quinoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, the development of self-driving cars has hit an obstacle, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phydios's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phydios is ranked 325,898^th in the world and 34^th in Right to Life for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.08 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
