The Empire of Astheria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Asther with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.075 billion Astherians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groẞ Astheria. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Astherian economy, worth 353 trillion Therls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 114,810 Therls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asther is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, it's never "just a game" with Astherian sports fans, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBA Governor goes house hunting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astheria's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Versexia.

Astheria is ranked 4,964th in the world and 151st in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 13,363 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
