The Federal Republic of Asakalia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Grand Chancellor Charles Albert with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.786 billion Asakalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mediopolis. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Asakalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,523 trillion Kronor 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 major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 187,559 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, the image of Asakalia's future is just a picture from last century, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asakalia's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Asakalia is ranked 332,871^st in the world and 26^th in ITALIA for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -19.31 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
