The Kingdom of Phight Land is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 227 million Phighters are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Phighter economy, worth 9.57 trillion Buxes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,170 Buxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and citizens sporting mohawks must carry family trees on them at all times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phight Land's national animal is the Catshot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Phight Land is ranked 236,734th in the world and 910th in Europeia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.83 kickbacks per hour.
