The Federalis Imperium of Astares Amauricanum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Keisaer Adrean Blachkor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.403 billion Astarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Astarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,032 trillion Covins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,345 Covins, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, street cleaners are noticeably glum during jubilee celebrations, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astares Amauricanum's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Astarian Star Polytheism.

Astares Amauricanum is ranked 5,902^nd in the world and 1^st in Astares Covenant for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 13,501.02 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
