The Rogue Nation of Astaraion is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Caspian with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.944 billion Astaraionians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Island Lusca. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Astaraionian economy, worth 256 trillion krackles 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 131,753 krackles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, new pests have been imported into Astaraion, Emperor Caspian is considering changing the Astaraionian flag to one with more glitter, and Astaraion has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime is totally unknown. Astaraion's national animal is the spotted leviathan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caerulediel.

Astaraion is ranked 4,232nd in the world and 69th in Europe for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 81.27 Workforce Participation Rate.
