The Republic of Assassinia is a large, safe nation, notable for its triple-decker prams and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 56 million Assassinians 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 tiny government prioritizes Welfare, with Administration, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Assassinian economy, worth 3.63 trillion leons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,821 leons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians cheer the nation's surging death rate, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, umbrellas are back in fashion, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime is almost non-existent. Assassinia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Assassinia is ranked 42,507^th in the world and 594^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 728.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
