The New Empire of Asmari is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Asmarite with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.592 billion Asmarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primorsk. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Asmarian economy, worth 387 trillion rocks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,448 rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, a whispered 'that's not very nice' is a teacher's toughest weapon, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, and gun-wielding criminals always wear appropriate eye and ear protection. Crime is totally unknown. Asmari's national animal is the helicopter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Asmari is ranked 9,066^th in the world and 1^st in Kellick Isles for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 8 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
