The Republic of Asolistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.585 billion Asolistanians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.2%.

The strong Asolistanian economy, worth 70.8 trillion EUROS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 44,644 EUROS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. Asolistan's national animal is the Pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Asolistan is ranked 266,954^th in the world and 22^nd in Communist Defense Pact for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -7.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
