The Constitutional Monarchy of The Phodus Region is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Phodesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The thriving Phodesian economy, worth 3.87 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 77,499 Tokens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 306,559 per year while the poor average 13,253, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, Falcon is one of the most popular forenames in The Phodus Region, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile. Crime is a problem. The Phodus Region's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Phodus Region is ranked 19,188^th in the world and 10^th in The Hole To Hide In for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 70,059.26 Standard Monetary Units.
