The Phantasm of Afi-Aftos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by El Guapo with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 39.775 billion Afi-Aftosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loompaland. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afi-Aftosian economy, worth a remarkable 8,161 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, and Furniture Restoration. 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 205,193 Fishterous Correlations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens pray for sunshine so that they can use illicit sundials for timekeeping, uprooting flowers for religious ceremonies is a felony, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and public urination is on the increase. 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 24,327^th in the world and 2^nd in Fredonia for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 289,202 Standard Monetary Units.
