The Theocratic State of Phyakaran is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.346 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taekiing. The average income tax rate is 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Phyakarani economy, worth 351 trillion Nyars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 149,724 Nyars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. 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 14,442nd in the world and 267th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,266.53 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
