The Colony of ASA33 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 8.269 billion ASA33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient ASA33ian economy, worth 365 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,254 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ASA33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

ASA33 is ranked 120,003^rd in the world and 1^st in Apartheid South Africa for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 124.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
