The Commonwealth of Asturian Union is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 321 million Asturian Unionians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The Asturian Unionian economy, worth 14.3 trillion Pesos a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 44,545 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asturian Union's national animal is the Andean Condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Asturian Union is ranked 307,260^th in the world and 5,944^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -9.17 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
