The Sapphic Haven of Astriva is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Akora Oridanus with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.821 billion Astrivans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunaria. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Astrivan economy, worth 323 trillion Lunas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 114,732 Lunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Astriva, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown. Astriva's national animal is the Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astriva is ranked 271,077^th in the world and 4,889^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.74 flags saluted per person per day.
