The Serene Empire of Afaenvia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HSIM Emperor Lucien Hwang with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 20.229 billion Afaenvians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystalcrest. The average income tax rate is 49.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afaenvian economy, worth a remarkable 3,488 trillion Krowlers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,442 Krowlers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, it's illegal to be caught on tape, time flies when you're not having fun, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afaenvia's national animal is the Forest Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Creed of the Outsider.

Afaenvia is ranked 1,067^th in the world and 2^nd in Kantrias for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 79.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
