The Republic of AfterBurn is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 16 million AfterBurnians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair AfterBurnian economy, worth 561 billion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is 35,082 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AfterBurn's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AfterBurn is ranked 122,575^th in the world and 249^th in Horizon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,399 Standard Monetary Units.
