The Self-Important Citystate of Refiria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by qekitor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.9 billion Refirians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Public Transport is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angeles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Refirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion refiris a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 191,938 refiris, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,744,140 per year while the poor average 2,426, a ratio of 718 to 1.

Legions of police officers force people to move into massive urban apartments, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, and cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Refiria's national animal is the red panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Safberdism.

Refiria is ranked 265,795^th in the world and 230^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
