The Mind Consortium of Asfaltum is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Sublimed Council with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The hard-working, devout population of 33.298 billion Asfaltians 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Confluence. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Asfaltian economy, worth a remarkable 4,902 trillion Favours a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,229 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Favour battlesuits, nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as Asfaltum's House of Parliament, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and Asfaltum has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asfaltum's national animal is the Retired Blade Missile, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Asfaltum is ranked 12,551st in the world and 4th in Grand Alliance for Most Armed, with 10.1 weapons per person.
