The Unitary State of Republic of Asfaristan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Al-Sulthan with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.424 billion Asfars are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuruddin. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asfar economy, worth 494 trillion Rials a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,727 Rials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, if they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more, and rural children are told reading's important (for other people). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asfaristan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Asfaristan is ranked 72,503^rd in the world and 2,120^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 416.9 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
