The Republic of Aszaria is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 68 million Aszarians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The very strong Aszarian economy, worth 3.89 trillion Aszarian Aureuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,268 Aszarian Aureuses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 303,345 per year while the poor average 5,726, a ratio of 53.0 to 1.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and Aszarian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aszaria's national animal is the The Great Roman Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aszaria is ranked 250,582^nd in the world and 1^st in Mappers of Nationstates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 333.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
