The Republic of Aspeling is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cow population. The hard-working population of 1.698 billion Aspelingians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The Aspelingian economy, worth 70.1 trillion marks a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 41,289 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aspeling's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Aspeling is ranked 160,276^th in the world and 680^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 979.91 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
