The União of Afonsonecas is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Pedro Trancoso de Almeida with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.526 billion Sourenses are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soure. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sourense economy, worth a remarkable 1,774 trillion elhinhoes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,942 elhinhoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and a law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afonsonecas's national animal is the coelho, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Afonsonecas is ranked 7,234^th in the world and 2^nd in Portugal de Esquerda for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 9,614.83 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
