The Federal Goverment of Asfar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Grand Regent Zarek with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.169 billion Asfarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akastran. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Asfarian economy, worth 114 trillion Haks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 97,750 Haks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, and a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asfar's national animal is the Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asfar is ranked 229,810^th in the world and 51^st in Fifth Empire for Most Politically Free, scoring 33.9 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
