The Commonwealth of Afrakanstan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Tetra with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.44 billion Afrakanstanians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The powerhouse Afrakanstanian economy, worth 179 trillion Rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 73,548 Rupees, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, The Tetra can cry on demand, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Afrakanstan's national animal is the Kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Motionism.

Afrakanstan is ranked 130,407^th in the world and 1^st in General Products Enterprises for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
