The Absolute Fascistic Monarchy of Ptolemaicia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ifervykoo I with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.458 billion Zyaqirrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khemenu. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ptolemaician economy, worth a remarkable 7,404 trillion Dedun Nebuns 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 a breathtaking 550,172 Dedun Nebuns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's usual for grandparents to stay in the family home with their descendants but younger children are often frightened of them, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, a government program is underway to revitalize Ptolemaicia's beaches, and it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ptolemaicia's national animal is the Djehuty Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zyaqirrism.

Ptolemaicia is ranked 331,922nd in the world and 15,854th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 15.36 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
