The Holy Flemingovian Empire of Astarial is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Taria with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 13.01 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Public Transport are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astana. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Astarial's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is totally unknown. Astarial's national animal is the octopus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Flemingovianism, and its currency is the Equiliant.

Astarial is ranked 34th in Equilism and 10,295th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 22 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
