The Republic of Allied East Asia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nathan Pan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.569 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beijing . The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and Peregrine Falcon is one of the most popular forenames in Allied East Asia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allied East Asia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Yuan.

Allied East Asia is ranked 4,635th in the South Pacific and 98,437th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
