The Free Land of Asthara is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Asthari with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 26.899 billion Astharans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asthara City. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Astharan economy, worth a remarkable 1,970 trillion Asthars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 73,269 Asthars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, fruit pickers with degrees in Dragon psychology are a common sight, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asthara's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Asthara is ranked 187,313th in the world and 3,638th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 15.98 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
