The Union of Central-Asia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by His Excellency Khudabayerdi Ghaniyev with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.884 billion Central Asians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tashkent. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Central-Asian economy, worth 121 trillion Soms a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,736 Soms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central-Asia's national animal is the Steppe Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Central-Asia is ranked 70,389^th in the world and 36^th in Geopolity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
