The Dominion of Assnerd is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.844 billion Assnerdians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.

The very strong Assnerdian economy, worth 977 trillion butts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,332 butts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 136,339 per year while the poor average 8,283, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Assnerd's national animal is the geek, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Assnerd is ranked 240,710^th in the world and 1^st in World Domination for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
