The United Kingdom of Pheonixknight is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by D Hermes with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.374 billion Phonixknightians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 57.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Pheonixknightian economy, worth 698 trillion Bytecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,714 Bytecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, and the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pheonixknight's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pheonixknight is ranked 156,728^th in the world and 186^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
