The Free Land of Afrique Orientale is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 168 million Afrique Orientaleans 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 Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.
The thriving Afrique Orientalean economy, worth 10.4 trillion Libertés a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,727 Libertés, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,771 per year while the poor average 13,205, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, men are finding 'she spots' more easily but they can't use them, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Afrique Orientale's national animal is the Clam, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Afrique Orientale is ranked 49,627th in the world and 1,374th in Lazarus for Nudest, with 209 cheeks per square mile.
