The United Shogunate of Astartia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Shogun with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 21.211 billion Astartians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adaremia. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Astartian economy, worth a remarkable 8,598 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 405,384 coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
Skyscrapers get built in just days, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Astartia's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is astartianism.
Astartia is ranked 1,902nd in the world and 6th in Portugal for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 30,783.29 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
