The Republic of Assiol is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Assiolians 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, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.
The Assiolian economy, worth 321 billion Terims a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,983 Terims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Assiol's national animal is the Onça , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Assiol is ranked 104,739th in the world and 393rd in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,181.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
