The Celestial Glory of Astoreus is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Astoreus Kingsley with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.746 billion Astorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ebessa. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Astorian economy, worth 155 trillion astroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,966 astroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astoreus's national animal is the pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Celestial Order.

Astoreus is ranked 31,774^th in the world and 28^th in Astoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
