The Colony of Asmara is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.354 billion Asmarans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The thriving Asmaran economy, worth 644 trillion Juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 77,148 Juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,993 per year while the poor average 16,760, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is moderate. Asmara's national animal is the quick pink fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asmara is ranked 140,952^nd in the world and 1^st in Asmara for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,565.65 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
