The Bloemfontein Watchmen of African Paradise is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.857 billion African Paradiseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The strong African Paradisean economy, worth a remarkable 1,715 trillion kios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,226 kios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, people caught mistreating African Paradise's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. African Paradise's national animal is the fairy.

African Paradise is ranked 258,120^th in the world and 3^rd in Bloemfontein for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
