The United Republic of Aslaconrad is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Alex Maclintock with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 5.57 billion Aslaconradians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcen. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Aslaconradian economy, worth 268 trillion Aslaconradian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,237 Aslaconradian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, and days begin with afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aslaconrad's national animal is the Aslaconradian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aslaconrad is ranked 65,242^nd in the world and 30^th in Callista for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
