The Socially Advanced Nation of Ascara is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Regent Alexander with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed population of 5.611 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress One. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, the government pours millions of Talons into rehabilitation programs annually, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ascara's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Deonaturalism, and its currency is the Talon.

Ascara is ranked 362nd in Europe and 86,038th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
