The Kingdom of Aphrilia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Evangeline Odonaghue III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, devout population of 1.075 billion Aphrilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luther. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aphrilian economy, worth 78.8 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,280 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aphrilia's national animal is the Seawolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ichoziore.

Aphrilia is ranked 65,576th in the world and 14th in Bresima for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,344.08 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
