The Commonwealth of Aspatia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Harry Boston with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 2.215 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, guns are banned, all tariffs have been abolished, and the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aspatia's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

Aspatia is ranked 4,161st in the South Pacific and 122,211th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -5 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
