The Republic of Asweyon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Neadry with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.829 billion Asweyonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Asweyonian economy, worth 665 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 173,709 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asweyon's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Asweyon is ranked 146,132^nd in the world and 2^nd in Amaranth for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,617.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
