The Really Big Farma of Photrisistan is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 8.088 billion Photrisistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Photrisistanian economy, worth 372 trillion rubledollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. 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 45,997 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Photrisistan is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Photrisistan's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Photrisistan is ranked 212,048^th in the world and 10^th in Big Farma for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 238.77 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
