The Serene Empire of Afaenvia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by HSIM Emperor Lucien Hwang with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 20.09 billion Afaenvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystalcrest. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afaenvian economy, worth a remarkable 3,454 trillion Krowlers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 171,947 Krowlers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, visiting the best Afaenvian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Afaenvia's national animal is the Forest Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Creed of the Outsider.

Afaenvia is ranked 4,707^th in the world and 3^rd in Kantrias for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
