The Kaiserreich of Asendavia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hjalmar XVIII with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.522 billion Asendavians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strömhärad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Asendavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,191 trillion Jade Nudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 263,430 Jade Nudoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 801,067 per year while the poor average 67,277, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Joggers are often arrested for breathing too heavily, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Strömhärad, there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Asendavia's national animal is the Gyoruna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ademarism.

Asendavia is ranked 2,819^th in the world and 72^nd in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,635.61 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
