The State of Pharas Judas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.692 billion Pharas Judasians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Pharas Judasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,602 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,582 per year while the poor average 8,210, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, and Pharas Judas has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pharas Judas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pharas Judas is ranked 263,749^th in the world and 6^th in Monrovia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
