The Territory of Asatria is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.932 billion Asatrians 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Asatrian economy, worth a remarkable 3,903 trillion Wergelds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 177,988 Wergelds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,432,900 per year while the poor average 5,047, a ratio of 283 to 1.

The government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, airport security is provided by private companies, the world outside is only known of in folklore, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Asatria's national animal is the Arctic Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asatria is ranked 197,945^th in the world and 1^st in Scratch Nations for Largest Black Market, with 508 billion Standard Monetary Units.
