The Republic of Affinitys Gift is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.703 billion Affinitys Giftians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Affinitys Giftian economy, worth 136 trillion glimmers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,429 glimmers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,274 per year while the poor average 6,272, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

The nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and judicial torture is outsourced overseas. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Affinitys Gift's national animal is the black cat.

Affinitys Gift is ranked 242,301^st in the world and 2^nd in An Alternate World for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
