The Capitalist Paradise of Phlontopia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Phlons Ericson with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.764 billion Phlontopians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phlontopia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Phlontopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,052 trillion Yorks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an amazing 239,182 Yorks, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, and the country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phlontopia's national animal is the Phlonite Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Phlons Ericsonisum.

Phlontopia is ranked 246,508^th in the world and 1^st in All buy my self for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 66.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
