The Sultanate of Asib is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 285 million Asibians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Asibian economy, worth 15.3 trillion dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 53,582 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asib's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asib is ranked 223,461^st in the world and 2,140^th in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.63 Obesity Rate.
