The Empire of Phantomee is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 638 million Imperial Citizens are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yinchorr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Phantomeean economy, worth 83.7 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 131,260 Imperial Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 530,060 per year while the poor average 21,695, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, and immigrants who don't like the taste of Phantomeean Turnip Chips are immediately deported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Phantomee's national animal is the Rancor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Phantomee is ranked 53,601^st in the world and 18^th in Aeternas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,757.89 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
