The Dictatorship of ASLOD is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 405 million Units are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SKYFALL. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong ASLODian economy, worth 29.4 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. Average income is 72,679 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ASLOD's national animal is the Maxwell, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ASLOD is ranked 246,101^st in the world and 17^th in Autropolis for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
