The United Commonwealth of Ascvalion is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Anthony McCarthy with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 7.772 billion Ascvalians 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 large government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vallengard. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ascvalian economy, worth 881 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,328 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polls predict that the hot favourites next election cycle are pop idols and cartoon characters, minor code style errors dull the house edge, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ascvalion's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ascvalion is ranked 74,180^th in the world and 3,768^th in Osiris for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,042.15 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
