The Absolute Dominion of ASEAN Federation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by John 'Cold Steel' Drakenson with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.154 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liebensmidt. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 2,105 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,092 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with John 'Cold Steel' Drakenson, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ASEAN Federation's national animal is the Black Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

ASEAN Federation is ranked 263,931^st in the world and 10,093^rd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,686.77 Standard Monetary Units.
