The Commonwealth of Affton is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Wolf population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 591 million Afftonians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The Afftonian economy, worth 31.8 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,871 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is well under control. Affton's national animal is the Wolf.

Affton is ranked 190,846^th in the world and 1^st in Realms of Monmark for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.38 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
