The Most Serene Republic of Phoronu is a massive, safe nation, ruled by G Edwardius with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.637 billion Phoronuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Phoronus. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Phoronuan economy, worth 780 trillion Phoronuan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,334 Phoronuan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Lending money has become a major liability, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Phoronuan Dollar charge on their phone bill, skateparks can be found in every city, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phoronu's national animal is the Quick Toed Sloth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Non-Movementarianism.

Phoronu is ranked 71,129^th in the world and 3,873^rd in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 36.41 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
