The March of Asturan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Marshal Gordon III Oswestry with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, devout population of 14.155 billion Asturanese 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bronzegate. The average income tax rate is 85.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Asturanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,593 trillion Trios a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,592 Trios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asturan's national animal is the Red Kite, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Asturan is ranked 281,323rd in the world and 141st in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
