The Pink on a Wednesday of Phi City is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr Phi with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.832 billion Phiites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phi City. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Phi Cityian economy, worth 93.8 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,210 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phi City's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Phi City is ranked 108,531^st in the world and 15^th in Chessboard for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 90.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
