The Tribe of Eflandia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Efecan with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and absence of drug laws. The devout population of 2.097 billion Eflandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fukuoka. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eflandian economy, worth 144 trillion yen 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 a large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 68,805 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Efecan's childhood, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eflandia's national animal is the Horseshoe Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Naturism.

Eflandia is ranked 16,841^st in the world and 1,052^nd in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,147.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
