The Foínix Aftokratoría of Megistos is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mysterious Idol with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.821 billion Mᴇgistians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Paix. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mᴇgistia economy, worth 887 trillion Frᴇies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 232,395 Frᴇies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Mᴇgistia language, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown. Megistos's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Phoenixi Orthodox.

Megistos is ranked 102,352^nd in the world and 1,793^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,726.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
