The Unrecognized State of Biafra is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.008 billion Biafrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enugu. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Biafran economy, worth a remarkable 4,394 trillion biafran Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 168,954 biafran Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, Max Barry finally has time for writing books after NationStates was recently outlawed, tabloids coo over Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu's expected child, and misbehaving Birds deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Biafra's national animal is the Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Biafra is ranked 233,666th in the world and 7,332nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.18541571688 days.
