The Empire of Pharibe is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 29 million Pharibeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong Pharibean economy, worth 1.87 trillion FAFS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,603 FAFS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,693 per year while the poor average 17,731, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Children often kick camels for amusement, military spending recently hit a new high, extreme political groups are outlawed, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate. Pharibe's national animal is the camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pharibe is ranked 109,508^th in the world and 213^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 59.53 on the Human Development Index.
