The Yipee-ki-yay of Bran Astor is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Harry Henderson with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.381 billion Astorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stumptown. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,497 chocolate bytecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bran Astor's national animal is the christmas tree octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gnostic Creationism.

Bran Astor is ranked 71,657^th in the world and 920^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
