The Imperial Empire of Ascenon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Carrow with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.255 billion Ascenonians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cadia. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ascenonian economy, worth an astonishing 10,944 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 387,334 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Ascenon's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Ascenon is often a lifetime appointment, Ascenonian actors literally work from cradle to grave, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ascenon's national animal is the Mutated Lizard-Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Infinite God Dragon.
Ascenon is ranked 2,692nd in the world and 101st in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 228 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
