The Phantasm of Afi-Aftos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Whoop Dee Whoop with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 46.37 billion Afi-Aftosians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, 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 93.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Afi-Aftosian economy, worth an astonishing 11,596 trillion Fishterous Correlations a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 250,094 Fishterous Correlations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, AA-SPAN features senators wrestling with ever-increasing production elements, exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, and the nation's ballot sheets often contain ten-thousand word manifestos for each party. Crime is all-pervasive, 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 292,511^th in the world and 7^th in Fredonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -26.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
