The Empire of Afrani is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 535 million Afranians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 24.5%.

The thriving Afranian economy, worth 41.9 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,385 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

International tensions are high as Afrani threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, the tenet of free speech is held dear, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Afranian language, and burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afrani's national animal is the Capitoline Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Afrani is ranked 129,903^rd in the world and 102^nd in Corsair for Most Corrupt Governments, with 6.97 kickbacks per hour.
