The Megacorp of AstyriaCorporation is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.297 billion AstyCorpers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Administration and Public Transport aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving AstyriaCorporationian economy, worth 442 trillion NSDS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,586 NSDS, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. AstyriaCorporation's national animal is the Employee, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

AstyriaCorporation is ranked 252,725^th in the world and 16^th in Astyria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
