The Constitutional Dictatorship of Afflexy is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Notta Human with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 2.882 billion Afflexians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City Underneath. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afflexian economy, worth 433 trillion marks 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 Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,517 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fattest folk in Afflexy look to be the happiest ones, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and those who turn the other cheek seem to enjoy being slapped just a little too much. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afflexy's national animal is the Golden Poison dart frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Afflexy is ranked 169,015th in the world and 2nd in Exsules Renascentis for Most Stationary, with 103.3192394312 days.
