The Federation of Ascor is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 239 million Ascurians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The strong Ascorian economy, worth 14.7 trillion Ascurian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 61,676 Ascurian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, a soldier's body is a temple, the police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of Ascurians, and Ascor is sometimes referred to as the global janitor. Crime is relatively low. Ascor's national animal is the Rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ascor is ranked 57,144^th in the world and 901^st in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,418.43 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
