The United States of Astrouted is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 254 million Astroutedians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Astroutedian economy, worth 13.4 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 52,846 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 153,047 per year while the poor average 14,460, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Astrouted's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Astrouted is ranked 235,142^nd in the world and 3,794^th in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 439.25 milliStalins.
