The Fields of Asphodel is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Fury population. The hard-working population of 20.095 billion Asphodelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.3%.

The Asphodelian economy, worth 727 trillion Skulls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 36,212 Skulls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Asphodel's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asphodel's national animal is the Fury, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asphodel is ranked 195,061^st in the world and 2,916^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
