The Absolute Dominion of ASEAN Federation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John 'Cold Steel' Drakenson with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.109 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liebensmidt. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 2,114 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,268 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with John 'Cold Steel' Drakenson, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ASEAN Federation's national animal is the Black Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

ASEAN Federation is ranked 5,528^th in the world and 289^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
