The Allied States of Phaesty is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Premier Nick Lint with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.391 billion Phaestyians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teem. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Phaestyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,237 trillion Shidaistips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,261 Shidaistips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cops in Teem spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, school uniforms are compulsory, couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, and loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phaesty's national animal is the dingo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Phaesty is ranked 80,474th in the world and 1st in The Stellar League for Most Stationary, with 603.13112788472 days.
