The Commonwealth of Astral Synaesthesia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.338 billion Astral Synaesthesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The strong Astral Synaesthesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,349 trillion basses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 66,329 basses, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Astral Synaesthesia has designated Astral Synaesthesia City as its capital city, voting is voluntary, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Astral Synaesthesia's national animal is the trancecrafter, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Astral Synaesthesia is ranked 281,654^th in the world and 2^nd in Trance for Most Authoritarian, with 169.66 milliStalins.
