The Telegram interceptor of The Phoenix Militia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.122 billion Militants 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 medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Phoenix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.2%.

The powerhouse Phoenix Militian economy, worth a remarkable 1,626 trillion shell casings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 94,982 shell casings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 450,662 per year while the poor average 11,813, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by an alien fox, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", and students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Phoenix Militia's national animal is the alien fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Seville.

The Phoenix Militia is ranked 28,019^th in the world and 2^nd in Outer Space for Most Patriotic, with 46.01 flags saluted per person per day.
