The Ba'athist Citystate of Refiria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by qekitor with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.661 billion Refirians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Public Transport also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angeles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Refirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,024 trillion refiris a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 181,038 refiris, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,644,223 per year while the poor average 2,299, a ratio of 714 to 1.

Refiria is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, government officials raid public buildings to remove all mention of G*d or r******n, the Refiria Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Refiria's national animal is the red panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Safberdism.

Refiria is ranked 257,412^th in the world and 4^th in Edel for Most Authoritarian, with 322.46 milliStalins.
