The United Republic of Asucion is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Asucionian Republic Government with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 1.689 billion Asucionians 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 Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Maria. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asucionian economy, worth 190 trillion Guaranís a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,972 Guaranís, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asucion's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Asucion is ranked 20,398^th in the world and 4^th in The United Democratic States for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
