The Nomadic Peoples of Flitswarm Phi is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 750 million Flitswarm Phians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Flitswarm Phian economy, worth 19.4 trillion flits 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, 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 25,923 flits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Flitswarm Phi's national animal is the flit, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Flitswarm Phi is ranked 199,560^th in the world and 3,063^rd in Suspicious for Largest Black Market, with 482 billion Standard Monetary Units.
