The Phantasm of Afi-Aftos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by El Guapo with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 36.757 billion Afi-Aftosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Administration and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dreck City. The average income tax rate is 63.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Afi-Aftosian economy, worth a remarkable 7,619 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 Gambling, 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 207,298 Fishterous Correlations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, ten thousand Afi-Aftosian soldiers recently invaded a nation occupied by two senior citizens and a dachshund, the nation is under martial law, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Afi-Aftos's national animal is the Vermicious Knid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dudeism.

Afi-Aftos is ranked 368^th in the world and 1^st in Fredonia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 510.78 Kickbacks Per Hour.
