The Sultanate of Afrakah is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 40 million Afrakahians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Afrakahian economy, worth 2.47 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 61,823 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,771 per year while the poor average 12,795, a ratio of 16.9 to 1.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, bicyclists are banned from major roads, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Afrakah's national animal is the Goat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Afrakah is ranked 226,545^th in the world and 199^th in The Invaders for Safest, scoring 23.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
