The Communist Monarchy of Commonwealth Of Astoria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Rachel Dawn Amber with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.092 billion Commonwealth Of Astorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commonwealth Of Astoria City. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Commonwealth Of Astorian economy, worth a remarkable 6,307 trillion Astorian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 369,028 Astorian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Women who leak pus from infected wounds are told to suck it up, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!", and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commonwealth Of Astoria's national animal is the Blue Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cult Of Amber.
Commonwealth Of Astoria is ranked 3,605th in the world and 153rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 198 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
