The Consolidated States of Lesser Afrisia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Leder with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.625 billion Afrisians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cairo. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lesser Afrisian economy, worth 991 trillion Misks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,055 Misks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, and nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Afrisia's national animal is the Pigeon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lesser Afrisia is ranked 23,784th in the world and 1st in GOOD BOIs for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,012.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
