The Kingdom of Asgareth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Xavier Sartori VI with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.31 billion Asgarthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zaralencia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Asgarthan economy, worth a remarkable 6,439 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 351,679 Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,656,854 per year while the poor average 44,324, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Asgareth's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Asgareth is ranked 62,131st in the world and 7th in The Charter for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,540.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
