The Dictatorship of ASLOD is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical population of 453 million CWUS 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SKYFALL. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong ASLODian economy, worth 35.9 trillion Credits 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. Average income is 79,168 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a CWU can expect a strongly worded letter, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Maxwell The Cat Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ASLOD's national animal is the Maxwell The Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ASLOD is ranked 58,621^st in the world and 17^th in Autropolis for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,356.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
