The Empire of Asanlas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zero with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.045 billion Asanlasians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysiuma. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Asanlasian economy, worth 196 trillion Teanlas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,689 Teanlas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and drug-related crimes carry the death penalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asanlas's national animal is the Shinigami, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is God of Death.

Asanlas is ranked 54,795^th in the world and 1^st in The New Commonwealth for Most Patriotic, with 25.52 flags saluted per person per day.
