The Phantom Hunter of Bytonic is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Jvba Yengar XVII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 992 million Bytoni are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yyveris. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bytonici economy, worth 78.6 trillion Aadens a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,194 Aadens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the government is pouring billions into replacement brains, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bytonic's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bytonic is ranked 67,172^nd in the world and 4^th in The Raiders Commune for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,068.15 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
