The Grand Kingdom of Phibeta is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Diane II with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.351 billion Phibetans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weston. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phibetan economy, worth 611 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,225 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, laws are littered with references to cheese, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phibeta's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of The Cardinal Heroes.

Phibeta is ranked 64,910^th in the world and 46^th in Greater Dienstad for Safest, scoring 97.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
