The Monarchic State of Asltonia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Alexander III with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.621 billion Asltonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tri-sites. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The Asltonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,004 trillion Alexander's heads a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 131,760 Alexander's heads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can freely debate whether Alexander III is a great leader or the greatest leader, neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise, nobody thinks that the Godfather was bettered by Part 2, and investigative reports into the government's latest violation of civilian rights are stored in the fiction aisle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Asltonia's national animal is the Chipmunk Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Asltonism.

Asltonia is ranked 312,916th in the world and 6,118th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 0.65 Atheism Rate.
