The Armed Republic of Jefria is a very large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 176 million Jefrians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.7%.

The strong Jefrian economy, worth 10.7 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,522 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jefria's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jefria is ranked 235,384^th in the world and 4,471^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 11.99 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
