The Foínix Aftokratoría of Megistos is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mysterious Idol with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.901 billion Mᴇgistians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Paix. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mᴇgistia economy, worth 921 trillion Frᴇies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 236,096 Frᴇies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and the only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape. Crime is totally unknown. Megistos's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Phoenixi Orthodox.

Megistos is ranked 230,611^th in the world and 4,198^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.06 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
