The Absolute Fascistic Monarchy of Ptolemaicia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Logan XIV with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.053 billion Kemetics 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, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khemenu. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ptolemaician economy, worth a remarkable 6,516 trillion Dedun Nebuns 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 a breathtaking 540,688 Dedun Nebuns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ptolemaicia's national animal is the Djehuty Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kemeticism.

Ptolemaicia is ranked 288,821st in the world and 7,076th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,244.13 Standard Monetary Units.
