The Fleeting Daydream of Safalra is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.956 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, college students sell their most valuable possessions just to afford pizza, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Safalra's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the reputation.

Safalra is ranked 36th in the region and 45,728th in the world for Rudest Citizens.
