The Empire of Military astriads is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Commissar vise Roy with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates.

It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Military astridan center. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Military astriads's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is God empire.
