The Republic of New Afika is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Flora Blackford with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.48 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 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Afikan economy, worth 155 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 government has embraced apartheid, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". 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 25,369^th in the world and 607^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 903.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
