The Empire of Phantomee is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 655 million Imperial Citizens are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yinchorr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Phantomeean economy, worth 86.6 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 132,234 Imperial Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 543,839 per year while the poor average 21,198, a ratio of 25.7 to 1.

Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Yinchorr generates millions of views, visions of giant pink Rancors are a common side effect after Imperial Citizens eat their meals, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, and fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phantomee's national animal is the Rancor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Phantomee is ranked 230,632^nd in the world and 61^st in Aeternas for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.54 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
