The Grand Duchy of Asilands is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 528 million Asilians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asilopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Asilian economy, worth 51.9 trillion Asilian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 98,320 Asilian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, government winter plans get a frosty reception, and conspiracy theorists allege Asilopolis's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asilands's national animal is the Brown bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asilands is ranked 153,037^th in the world and 693^rd in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 387.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
