The Eilíft Norrænir Keiserríke of Askerike is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eiríkr Hákon with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.53 billion Askerikeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldegud. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Askerikean economy, worth an astonishing 11,640 trillion Wergelds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 327,628 Wergelds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,120,187 per year while the poor average 70,451, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

The daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the nation's economic policies have a narrow area of effect, and bombs make good ploughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Askerike's national animal is the Arctic Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Forn Siðr.

Askerike is ranked 332,449^th in the world and 91^st in Nordic Lands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -52.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
