The Mouse Witchcraft of Astrid Nadine is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Astrid Nadine with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.434 billion Astrid Nadineans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reandal. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Astrid Nadinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,729 trillion cheese slices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 268,826 cheese slices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
