“Do what you will, as shall I”

The Free Queendom of Aslaclestia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Michelle Zanerous with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.846 billion Aslaclestites love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvenia. The average income tax rate is 2.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aslaclestian economy, worth a remarkable 1,758 trillion Aslaclestite Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 224,098 Aslaclestite Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Aslaclestia, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aslaclestia's national animal is the Sperm whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Michellism.

Aslaclestia is ranked 284,698^th in the world and 26^th in Gay Equality for Safest, scoring 3.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
