The Free Land of Afeiste is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 951 million Afeisteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaoso City. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Afeistean economy, worth 26.5 trillion Detaoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,844 Detaoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and the government has pulled the plug on the auto industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afeiste's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Afeiste is ranked 199,373^rd in the world and 46^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 40.77 on the Hayek Index.
