The Republic of -Astoria- is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.552 billion Astorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Astorian economy, worth 937 trillion pynts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,132 pynts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cremation is compulsory for the deceased, populations of two-headed bubo buboes have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, skateparks can be found in every city, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Astoria-'s national animal is the bubo bubo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Astoria- is ranked 32,351st in the world and 6th in Council of Constructed Languages for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
