Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of Filafia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Richard Steele with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.746 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cania. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Richard Steele's bedroom, Filafia's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, and Corsac is one of the most popular forenames in Filafia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Filafia's national animal is the corsac, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Lucre.

Filafia is ranked 73rd in the Rejected Realms and 5,675th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
