The Grand Duchy of Phaedras is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Kat the Kitten with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 4.387 billion Phaedrasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phae. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phaedrasian economy, worth 441 trillion Thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,629 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, foreign musicians that Lord Kat the Kitten dislikes are turned away at the border, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phaedras's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Meows of the Holy Kitten.

Phaedras is ranked 136,808th in the world and 2,503rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 226.98153528728 days.
