The Empire of East Ase Palmars is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arnold Floros with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.659 billion East Ase Palmarsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmarsian. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong East Ase Palmarsian economy, worth 108 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 65,464 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, religious education is a new government priority, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Ase Palmars's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Spiritual Entity.

East Ase Palmars is ranked 14,783^rd in the world and 290^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,246.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
