The Federal Socialist Republic of Asturies-Llion is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.572 billion Asturllionese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uviéu. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Asturllionese economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion Maravedíns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is 72,977 Maravedíns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asturies-Llion's national animal is the Cantabric Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asturies-Llion is ranked 209,033^rd in the world and 260^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
