The Constitutional Monarchy of Saint Asperes is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Shahniln I with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 2.066 billion Saint Asperesians 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, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Èl Reno in the Archduchy of Ansberg. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Asperesian economy, worth 222 trillion Coller ₡s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,694 Coller ₡s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and every citizen sounds like a television news anchor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Asperes's national animal is the Black Eagle- Águia Negra, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Asperesian Christianity.

Saint Asperes is ranked 37,192^nd in the world and 495^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,509.55 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
