The Kingdom of AS-s-aVR is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Smiramis with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.782 billion AS-s-aVRians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.

The powerhouse AS-s-aVRian economy, worth a remarkable 2,031 trillion Semirams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 85,407 Semirams, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 375,907 per year while the poor average 12,180, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Historic buildings are being demolished to allow for road-widening in the city centre, Babylon's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, and Smiramis often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force. AS-s-aVR's national animal is the Winged Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is polytheism.

AS-s-aVR is ranked 262,743^rd in the world and 94^th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Highest Poor Incomes, with 12,180.9 Standard Monetary Units.
