The Rogue Nation of Astaraion is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Caspian with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 892 million Astaraionians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Island Lusca. The average income tax rate is 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Astaraionian economy, worth 97.8 trillion krackles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,691 krackles, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, and young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astaraion's national animal is the spotted leviathan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astaraion is ranked 274,116^th in the world and 1,246^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
