The Republic of AFL is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and parental licensing program. The devout population of 3.573 billion AFLians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The AFLian economy, worth 198 trillion ---s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,445 ---s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AFL's national animal is the ---, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
