The United Socialist States of Asgard of Rawls is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 6.208 billion Asgard of Rawlsians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Asgard of Rawlsian economy, worth 449 trillion Rawls a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 72,465 Rawls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Asgard of Rawls, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and the government has legalised small-scale capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asgard of Rawls's national animal is the Demiguise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asgard of Rawls is ranked 217,415^th in the world and 7,458^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,637.92 Standard Monetary Units.
