The Republic of PH 7 is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 5.396 billion PH 7ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient PH 7ian economy, worth 199 trillion phs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,056 phs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, people who have lived their entire lives in PH 7 are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PH 7's national animal is the ph.
PH 7 is ranked 284,157th in the world and 506th in Crimson Spire for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
