The Theocratic State of Phyakaran is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, remarkably easy parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.584 billion Phyakaranis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taekiing. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phyakarani economy, worth 505 trillion Nyars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,074 Nyars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, and back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats. 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 28,621^st in the world and 533^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 141,074.87 Standard Monetary Units.
