The United Kingdom of Asukalia 2000 is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Asuka Soryu with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 897 million Asukalians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asukatoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The very strong Asukalia 2000ian economy, worth 74.0 trillion Asukmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 82,468 Asukmarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,779 per year while the poor average 11,214, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Empress Asuka Soryu has just been declared ruler of Asukalia 2000 in an international press conference, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Asukalia 2000's national animal is the Angel Apostlos, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asukalia 2000 is ranked 155,889^th in the world and 15^th in Kali Yuga for Most Developed, scoring 55.14 on the Human Development Index.
