The United Socialist States of Astrington is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Paul Reid with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.093 billion Astringtonians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grimsby. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Astringtonian economy, worth 350 trillion Sovereigns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,454 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
