The Holy Empire of Afkun Empire is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Vladimir I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.634 billion Afkunians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Afkunia. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afkun Empirean economy, worth 769 trillion Afkani Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,049 Afkani Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

More and more people are signing up for the government party, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, and foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Afkun Empirean selfishness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afkun Empire's national animal is the White Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Afkuni Catholicism.

Afkun Empire is ranked 11,507^th in the world and 7^th in Trica for Most Developed, scoring 89.78 on the Human Development Index.
