The Commonwealth of Phanama is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Bowleaf with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.472 billion Phanamans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spiritus. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phanaman economy, worth 382 trillion Phanaman Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,283 Phanaman Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phanama's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phanama is ranked 20,461^st in the world and 525^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 81.43 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
