The Phantasm of Afi-Aftos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Whoop Dee Whoop with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, flagrant waste-dumping, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.412 billion Afi-Aftosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized 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 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Afi-Aftosian economy, worth an astonishing 11,811 trillion Fishterous Correlations 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 amazing 254,486 Fishterous Correlations, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive gerrymandering has earned Afi-Aftos the nickname 'The Democratic Dictatorship', opposition party MPs campaign shirtless to show off their numerous lash scars, elections have been outlawed, and newspapers print only headlines. 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 290,505^th in the world and 7^th in Fredonia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -25.42 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
