The Kingdom of Photrisia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Arro XIII with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.17 billion Photrisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Photrisiagrad. The average income tax rate is 32.4%.

The large but inefficient Photrisian economy, worth 277 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,765 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied snake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Photrisia's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religion.

Photrisia is ranked 176,068th in the world and 24th in The Embassy for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
