The Confederacy of Afinnaus is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 199 million Afinausians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Afinnausian economy, worth 8.68 trillion afinnian trannes 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Gambling, Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. 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 43,614 afinnian trannes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Decongestants have replaced afinnian trannes in street transactions, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Afinausians's kindness, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afinnaus's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Afinnaus is ranked 80,068^th in the world and 1,142^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,891.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
