The Socially Advanced Nation of Ascara is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Regent Alexander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.785 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

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 Book Publishing.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. 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 36th in Europe and 2,612th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 15 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
