The Republic of Eflad is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hanna Tirng with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.803 billion Efladians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Münnen. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Efladian economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion Ippons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 144,033 Ippons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eflad's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eflad is ranked 279,099^th in the world and 5,231^st in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -330.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
