The Creed of Assassins is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ezio Auditore da Firenze with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, digital currency, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 7.748 billion Assassins 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Assassin economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,620 Drachmas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,423,941 per year while the poor average 1,969, a ratio of 722 to 1.

Self-driving cars occasionally mow down pedestrians to avoid inconveniencing passengers, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Assassins's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Assassins is ranked 72,681^st in the world and 3^rd in The Celestial Archipelago for Largest Black Market, with 5.56 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
