“Rise through the flame with your blazing mane”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United States of FirePheonix is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Ten Scholars with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.77 billion FirePheonixians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Intelligentsia. The average income tax rate is 45.2%.

The frighteningly efficient FirePheonixian economy, worth 360 trillion bells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 203,704 bells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, a degree in The Ten Scholars Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. FirePheonix's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is mongadace.

FirePheonix is ranked 11,482^nd in the world and 25^th in The League for Most Cultured, scoring 108 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
