The Republic of Aspinal is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning panther population. The hard-working population of 540 million Aspinalians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 13.5%.

The Aspinalian economy, worth 26.9 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 49,829 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aspinal's national animal is the panther.
