Alafia is an uninhabited territory of the Republic of Phillip situated on the Alafia River and the Tampa Bay. The territory’s de facto capital and only settlement is Riachuelo. It is the easternmost of Phillip’s territorial claims.

The territory spans slightly less than three square kilometers and consists of more than seventy small islands that are mainly made up of mangroves.

Since its annexation on 7 March 2023, the territory has not been visited by a representative of Phillip. This has led the government of Phillip to classify the territory as “disputed” with the United States of America. As of March 2023, the Military of Phillip is in the process of preparing an invasion of the territory.

Etymology

The name "Alafia" comes from the name of the river that most of the territory's land is located on, the Alafia River. The territory is made up of twelve different plots of land, eight of which are groups of islands, on the Tampa Bay and the Alafia River.

Government

Alafia is governed by the Governor of the Territories, a mainly ceremonial office appointed by the President who has jurisdiction over all of the territories. Their role as governor is mostly useless, as the only role of governors in Phillip is the ability to impose taxes upon the residents of their subdivision. Because Alafia is uninhabited, the governor has no real power.

The current Governor of the Territories is Cooper Norfolk (I) of the Origen District.
