The Republic of Aefnir is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.993 billion Aefnirians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aefnirian economy, worth 191 trillion aris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,949 aris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Aefnir City Wolves against long odds, and the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aefnir's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aefnir is ranked 110,697^th in the world and 1,513^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,025.81 Standard Monetary Units.
