The Siamese Kingdom of Astarina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Rama IX with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.739 billion Siamese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krung Thep. The average income tax rate is 18.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Siamese economy, worth a remarkable 3,622 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,307 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Siamese politicians, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Astarina's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Theravada Buddhism.

Astarina is ranked 20,205^th in the world and 43^rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
