The Nomadic Peoples of The Asteroid Dimension is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 5.75 billion Asteroid Dimensionians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Asteroid Dimensionian economy, worth 273 trillion emeralds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,640 emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, young girls often attend the same schools as their children, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of The Asteroid Dimension, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Asteroid Dimension's national animal is the asteroid.
The Asteroid Dimension is ranked 201,058th in the world and 3rd in Fraecia for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 587.28 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
