The Republic of New Afika is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Flora Blackford with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.466 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, 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 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Afikan economy, worth 153 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 104,822 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, the world still seems flat to some people in space, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 22,178^th in the world and 442^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,620.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
