The Christian Empire of Phinolico is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Francisco Salvador Windorfore with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.054 billion Phinolicoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phinolico Capital City. The average income tax rate is 71.3%.

The powerhouse Phinolicoan economy, worth 182 trillion gold sequenceses a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,913 gold sequenceses, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, Phinolico Capital City is a police state during international summits, and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phinolico's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Phinolico is ranked 105,158^th in the world and 24^th in Philippines for Most Patriotic, with 14.59 flags saluted per person per day.
