The Theocratic State of Phyakaran is a massive, safe nation, notable for its national health service, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.411 billion Phyakaranis 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taekiing. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phyakarani economy, worth 353 trillion Nyars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,489 Nyars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tens of thousands of Phyakaranis rock the night away at the annual SuperLob, people have become comfortably numb, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phyakaran's national animal is the Kaalrera Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mahayana Buddhism.

Phyakaran is ranked 48,370^th in the world and 888^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,173.3 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
