The Republic of Phi Screams is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 8.337 billion Phi Screamsians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.5%.

The Phi Screamsian economy, worth 404 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 48,571 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phi Screams's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Phi Screams is ranked 208,336^th in the world and 1^st in phi for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 277.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
