The United Socialist States of Asdernia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Victor Kuznetsov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.202 billion Asdernians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asden. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asdernian economy, worth 257 trillion Asders 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 117,129 Asders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, intelligence analysts spend most of their time looking at embarrassing photos on social media sites, the government snoops on private internet connections, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asdernia's national animal is the Asdernian red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Asdernia is ranked 211,484^th in the world and 49^th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Safest, scoring 35.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
