The Autocratic Republic of New Astrail is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Stimulatini Polisto the 44th with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 6.15 billion Astrailis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ik Knalish. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Astrailian economy, worth 697 trillion Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,427 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, Stimulatini Polisto the 44th tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", emojis are the soul of wit, and political dissidents are cut off from essential services. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Astrail's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kiwianist.

New Astrail is ranked 13,669^th in the world and 954^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
