The Republic of Republic Phoenix is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 272 million Republic Phoenixians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix City. The average income tax rate is 56.4%.

The very strong Republic Phoenixian economy, worth 19.1 trillion RSDS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,109 RSDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Republic Phoenix's hospitals, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic Phoenix's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Republic Phoenix is ranked 270,892^nd in the world and 5,664^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.17 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
