The Queen's State of Phares Judas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.315 billion Phares 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, prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse Phares Judasian economy, worth 866 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 44,867 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 153,929 per year while the poor average 9,598, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Phares Judas's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Phares Judas is ranked 253,742^nd in the world and 415^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
