The Kingdom of Phirogothe is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 474 million Phirogotheans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Pallake. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Phirogothean economy, worth 48.3 trillion deniers a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,851 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, and everybody's got wood thanks to Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phirogothe's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phirogothe is ranked 23,121^st in the world and 1,162^nd in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 57.34 quips per hour.
