The Grand Duchy of Phaedras is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Kat the Kitten with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 1.09 billion Phaedrasians 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phae. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Phaedrasian economy, worth 85.8 trillion Thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,746 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, carefully-staged grief is displayed by Lord Kat the Kitten after national disasters, and those on Lord Kat the Kitten's rumored 'Enemies List' tend to disappear overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phaedras's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Meows of the Holy Kitten.
Phaedras is ranked 243,145th in the world and 11,036th in The North Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -9.26 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
