The Federal Republic of Ast Vulaneigan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7 million Ast Vulaneiganians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.9%.

The strong Ast Vulaneiganian economy, worth 436 billion Zucs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 62,288 Zucs, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, surveillance cameras are banned, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ast Vulaneigan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ast Vulaneigan is ranked 230,408^th in the world and 2,059^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
