The Realm of Astraln is a massive, safe nation, ruled by DePo KiAGa with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.191 billion Kaons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MaCaGoN. The average income tax rate is 27.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Astralnian economy, worth 97.3 trillion Staris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,685 Staris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. Astraln's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astraln is ranked 73,666^th in the world and 81^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 130.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
