The Holy Empire of Grand Assyria is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 184 million Assyrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 12.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Grand Assyrian economy, worth 11.1 trillion New Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,289 New Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, voting is compulsory, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grand Assyria's national animal is the Bearded eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grand Assyria is ranked 107,604^th in the world and 36^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,870.15 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
