The United States of Aslantica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Henry with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.02 billion Aslanticans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Aslantic. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Aslantican economy, worth a remarkable 3,298 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 274,400 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 843,372 per year while the poor average 69,017, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Many politicians carry out their morning ablutions in public restrooms, all gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, the standard police uniform now comes with several colours of belt, and the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself". Crime is totally unknown. Aslantica's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aslantica is ranked 315,102^nd in the world and 3,539^th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -952.23 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
