The Republic of Africanization is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.209 billion Africanizationians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Africanizationian economy, worth a remarkable 3,459 trillion 9003s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 243,495 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Africanization's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Africanization is ranked 237^th in the world and 1^st in Home Sweet 9003 for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 14,538.97 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
