Pharexia (pronounced: /fərɛziɑ/; Swedish: Fårarna pronounced: /fˈəʊrˈærnə/) is a small Nordic island country in the northern Atlantic Ocean. It is located around 250km southeast of Iceland and 350km from Norway. The capital city is Östsjö.

Culturally, Pharexia's small population of just over 130,000 demonstrates a cohesive national character. Pharexia is a combination of individualism and egalitarianism. Pharexians are highly agreeable and compassionate people, reflected in the state's strong social welfare system, while also harboring conscientiousness and responsibility, reflected by the high GDP per capita, high level of educational achievement, and more recently significant technological advancements.

Pharexian politics have been described by scholars as an eclectic amalgamation of both conservative and liberal thought: for example, despite having rather restrictive abortion laws, it has relatively liberal LGBT laws. This dichotomy is usually attributed to the rather unique teachings of the state church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Pharexia, which has both a high adherence and a large influence over public policy. Pharexia maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. Pharexia ranks high in economic, democratic, social stability, and equality. It is consistently ranked as one of the most developed countries in the world and high on the Global Peace Index. The country runs entirely on renewable energy.

Despite the nation being known for its state of neutrality, this has been questioned in recent years, with Pharexia becoming a member of NATO in 2017. Though Pharexia is philosophically and constitutionally a pacifist country, it continues to maintain a minimal defense force that consists of a coast guard and national guard. Pharexia is also a member of the UN, OECD, and the Nordic Council.
