The Rogue Nation of Astaraion is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Caspian with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 882 million Astaraionians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Island Lusca. The average income tax rate is 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Astaraionian economy, worth 95.6 trillion krackles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,386 krackles, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", Astaraionians seem to be catching more chills, bizarre-looking creatures called 'spotted leviathandogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astaraion's national animal is the spotted leviathan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astaraion is ranked 13,390^th in the world and 265^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,326.09 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
