OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Free Land of Aspenanza is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Hunter Thompson with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.959 billion Aspenanzians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pitkin. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Aspenanzan economy, worth a remarkable 1,268 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 159,404 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Aspenanzan pirates, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Aspenanzians, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Aspenanza's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gonzoism.

Aspenanza is ranked 6,342nd in the world and 4th in Council of Asia for Largest Governments, scoring 40.44 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
