The Kingdom of Astra Detre is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.482 billion Astra Detreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The strong Astra Detrean economy, worth 100 trillion Detreses a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 67,884 Detreses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Men are expected to stay home to fix funny noises in the attic, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astra Detre's national animal is the Kusrie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Astra Detre is ranked 181,215th in the world and 7,074th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 54.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
