The Grand Kingdom of Phibeta is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Diane II with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.669 billion Phibetans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weston. The average income tax rate is 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Phibetan economy, worth a remarkable 1,239 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,193 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

People often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, replacement organs are grown in vats, and politicians have been known to swim in pools filled with Pounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phibeta's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of The Cardinal Heroes.

Phibeta is ranked 42,959th in the world and 29th in Greater Dienstad for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,854.15 Standard Monetary Units.
