The Union of Greater Efrafa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Chairman of the Council of State with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.137 billion Efrafans 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 Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Efrafan economy, worth 941 trillion Efrafan Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,653 Efrafan Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for The Chairman of the Council of State's office, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Efrafa's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Efrafa.

Greater Efrafa is ranked 43,590^th in the world and 45^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,386.45 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
