The Republic of Aefnir is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.962 billion Aefnirians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aefnirian economy, worth 188 trillion aris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,949 aris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Aefnir City Wolves against long odds, and the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aefnir's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aefnir is ranked 54,142^nd in the world and 735^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,843.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
