The PHP Forum Package of PhpBB is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.502 billion PhpBBians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PhpBBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,279 trillion nairas 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 196,857 nairas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PhpBB's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

PhpBB is ranked 12,480th in the world and 199th in Aetherius for Most Corrupt Governments, with 139.41 kickbacks per hour.
