Rafi

Rafi are the citizens of Marafire. About 98% of all Rafi are Re, but anyone of any species, nationality, or ethnicity can become Rafi by registering with the Marafire Ministry of the Exterior. The Rafi native language is Temarafire.

Culturally they are extremely friendly and welcoming, very strongly believe in social welfare and this extends to all living beings not just the Rafi and not even just sentient beings. Generally the Re welcome all friendly and respectful visitors within the borders and gladly grant citizenship to anyone who asks.

The Marafire political leadership is highly in favor of tourism and makes open efforts to be welcoming and inclusive (ie. Kutau). However a visit to Marafire could result in culture shock.

Part of the tourism effort is distributing propaganda in the region hailing Marafire as a pleasant resort-type tropical getaway, and the Re as amicable and polite. While all those things are true none of the propaganda mentions the intense hiking and potentially climbing required to visit most locations, the fact that 80-90% of food served will be raw or preserved produce and organized hunts are prohibited by law (a common complaint amongst omnivorous and carnivorous guests), or that the Re are friendly but also an incredibly raucous, free-spirited, sexually liberal, minimal order society.
