The Social Stratocracy of Ascoobis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Premier Andreo Acero with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and digital currency. The compassionate, humorless population of 16.613 billion Ascoobians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkmount. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ascoobian economy, worth a remarkable 4,046 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 243,555 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ascoobis's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Ascoobis is ranked 4,191^st in the world and 5^th in The Coalition of Democratic Nations for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,947.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
