The Empire of Night Phoenix is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Raza with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 16.407 billion Night Phoenixians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Aurora. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Night Phoenixian economy, worth a remarkable 4,189 trillion Flames a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,335 Flames, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the face of Emperor Raza is a permanent feature of the New Aurora skyline, and the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Night Phoenix's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of the Eternal Flame.

Night Phoenix is ranked 11,368th in the world and 1st in Greater Arcadia for Most Stationary, with 2,154.9528222182 days.
