Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Sultanate of Ashar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sultan Muhammad V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.935 billion Asharians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Hammad. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asharian economy, worth a remarkable 2,522 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,509 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, all you have to do is pray to get into Ashar, agricultural science is the most competitive subject at universities, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashar's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ashar is ranked 160,497^th in the world and 9^th in Esamir for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 270.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
