The Foínix Aftokratoría of Megistos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mysterious Idol with a fair hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.839 billion Mᴇgistians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Paix. The average income tax rate is 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mᴇgistia economy, worth 904 trillion Frᴇies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 235,735 Frᴇies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Mᴇgistia satellites can detect it, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, the government has returned all business to private ownership, and Mysterious Idol's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves. Crime is totally unknown. Megistos's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Phoenixi Orthodox.

Megistos is ranked 271,611^th in the world and 5,155^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 9.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
