The Minarchist Directorate of Phansomr is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Director with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.865 billion Phansomrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yleria. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Phansomrian economy, worth 482 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,206 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phansomr's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of Choice.

Phansomr is ranked 15,329^th in the world and 98^th in Refugia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,677.04 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
