The Queendom of Philephebia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Babylis VIII with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 33.135 billion Philephebians 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 Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenarot. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The Philephebian economy, worth a remarkable 2,780 trillion psapphoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 83,908 psapphoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many aides in Babylis VIII's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, third world countries are rich in "I Love Buenarot" t-shirts, and textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philephebia's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Philephebia is ranked 210,473rd in the world and 109th in New Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
