The Autonomer Staat of AS-of-Sarasa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Xavier Bertrand with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.555 billion sarasanoes are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lille. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.0%.
The powerhouse AS-of-Sarasan economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 84,813 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,643 per year while the poor average 20,535, a ratio of 13.0 to 1.
Just as students finish their homework it's time for school, Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Lille. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AS-of-Sarasa's national animal is the Dinosaurio, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
AS-of-Sarasa is ranked 18,331st in the world and 2nd in Deuterra for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,243.62 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
