The Republic of Arfokiya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by ADRIKA ROY with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.429 billion Arfokiyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakfando. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Arfokiyan economy, worth 170 trillion Arfokas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 70,161 Arfokas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, and adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arfokiya's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arfokiya is ranked 241,586^th in the world and 1^st in Alserima for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 154.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
