The Supreme Empire of Asfid is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Asfid II with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.102 billion Asfidians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paethric. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Asfidian economy, worth 838 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 270,051 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 913,986 per year while the poor average 58,966, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Emperor Asfid II is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Asfid's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Katolicyzm.

Asfid is ranked 306,016^th in the world and 44^th in United Commonwealth for Least Corrupt Governments, with 22.36 percentage of bribes refused.
