The Phantasm of Afi-Aftos is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Whoop Dee Whoop with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, complete lack of prisons, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 51.536 billion Afi-Aftosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loompaland. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Afi-Aftosian economy, worth an astonishing 13,977 trillion Fishterous Correlations a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 271,226 Fishterous Correlations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Barber shops need government approval before introducing new hairstyles, young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music, having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Afi-Aftos's national animal is the Vermicious Knid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dudeism.

Afi-Aftos is ranked 4,807^th in the world and 1^st in Fredonia for Highest Average Incomes, with 271,226.45 Standard Monetary Units.
