The Theocracy of Cultural Astolfism is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Astolfo with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.203 billion Astolfists enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Astolfist economy, worth 869 trillion Loves a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,807 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, it's best not to ask what goes into Cultural Astolfism City Crispy Fried Tofu's secret blend of herbs and spices, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cultural Astolfism's national animal is the Hippogriff, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Astolfism.

Cultural Astolfism is ranked 25,967th in the world and 509th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 111.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
