The People's Republic of Astrbot is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by SS with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working, devout population of 1.199 billion Astrbotians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astrbot city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.1%.

The all-consuming Astrbotian economy, worth 86.8 trillion Equits a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,423 Equits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,392 per year while the poor average 19,997, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astrbot's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hindu.

Astrbot is ranked 269,328^th in the world and 45^th in kingdom of Greater Esteriae for Most Cultured, scoring 60 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
