The Federal Republic of Aselon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Whittman with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, stringent health and safety legislation, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate population of 1.236 billion Aselonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harmony. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aselonian economy, worth 165 trillion Astmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,943 Astmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, the government defends a woman's right to choose, the most recent election was a close race between President Whittman and President Whittman, and eating kids as food has been enshrined in law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aselon's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aselon is ranked 233,384^th in the world and 907^th in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 1.24 billion capita.
