The Republic of Phat Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.79 billion Phat Islandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Phat Islandian economy, worth 872 trillion Dollars 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 128,464 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 451,538 per year while the poor average 26,488, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and the first sword of Phat Island does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phat Island's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Phat Island is ranked 40,013^th in the world and 232^nd in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
