The Holy Empire of Jaflen is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 56 million Jaflenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jaflenian economy, worth 1.60 trillion Jaffles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,612 Jaffles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internet has been placed under government control, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaflen's national animal is the 3-headed Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Jaflen is ranked 146,638^th in the world and 681^st in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,275.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
