The Republic of New Afika is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Flora Blackford with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 1.499 billion New Afikans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Afika City. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Afikan economy, worth 161 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,525 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout New Afika after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Afika's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

New Afika is ranked 89,063^rd in the world and 1,527^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 17.36 kickbacks per hour.
