The Commonwealth of Phanama is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Bowleaf with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.75 billion Phanamans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spiritus. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Phanaman economy, worth 406 trillion Phanaman Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,464 Phanaman Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the true length of the coastline of Phanama may never be measured, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Phanama will pay them to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phanama's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phanama is ranked 7,867^th in the world and 253^rd in the South Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,771.47 Tourists Per Hour.
