The Grand Duchy of Afriesinele is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Grand Duke of Wesalburg with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.975 billion Afriesineleans 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Wesalburg. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Afriesinelean economy, worth 717 trillion Düks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,971 Düks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Afriesinele after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afriesinele's national animal is the Weasel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Afriesinele is ranked 120,602nd in the world and 2,341st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 295.54340807432 days.
