The Federal Republic of Aspellia

“By The People For The People”

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

The Federal Republic of Aspellia is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.472 billion Aspellians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aspellian economy, worth 591 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,170 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, and a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Aspellian as 'your finger, you fool'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aspellia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aspellia is ranked 263,871^st in the world and 397^th in Wintreath for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -274.85 on the Hayek Index.
