The Republic of New Afika is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Flora Blackford with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 1.449 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 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Afikan economy, worth 149 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 103,513 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, diaper sales are up, the New Afikan Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, and when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes. 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 204,213^th in the world and 3,713^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
