The Queendom of Astrid the Ashen One is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 268 million Astrid the Ashen Oneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Astrid the Ashen Onean economy, worth 2.45 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 9,140 souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astrid the Ashen One's national animal is the mouse.
Astrid the Ashen One is ranked 215,437th in the world and 1st in DARK SOULS III for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 2.21 missed references per hour.
