The People's Republic of Asperey is a small, cultured nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Aspereyians 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aspereyian economy, worth 1.40 trillion dables a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,337 dables, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

For some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, religious education is a new government priority, and stocks go up when the internet says so. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asperey's national animal is the snow fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asperey is ranked 183,709^th in the world and 30^th in QA nerds for Highest Average Incomes, with 48,337.04 Standard Monetary Units.
