The Colony of Asarivia is a large, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The democratic population of 193 million Asarivians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Asarivian economy, worth 8.04 trillion Revus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,645 Revus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, and the Asarivian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asarivia's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asarivia is ranked 130,912^th in the world and 212^th in Starlight for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,000.34 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
