The New Empire of Phoenik is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Thales Politios with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 19.537 billion Phoenikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allodoxia. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phoenikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,683 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,337 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rare steaks seem even bluer now, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoenik's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Phoenik is ranked 22,781^st in the world and 1,636^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
