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

The Free Territory of Astrum Nigrum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.579 billion Astrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svatania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Astrum Nigrumian economy, worth a remarkable 4,454 trillion Black Stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,775 Black Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime is totally unknown. Astrum Nigrum's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astrum Nigrum is ranked 186,934^th in the world and 125^th in Anarchy for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.66 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
