The People's Magocracy of Asardia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Annora Allegrodo with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.133 billion Asardians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seran. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,949 trillion Talis Ingeniums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 175,134 Talis Ingeniums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Asardia, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asardia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lógia Tessáron.

Asardia is ranked 274,507^th in the world and 9,848^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
