The Supreme Empire of Asfid is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Asfid II with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.939 billion Asfidians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paethric. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Asfidian economy, worth 786 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 267,632 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 884,908 per year while the poor average 60,509, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", the government is crossing the Rubicon in its levels of corruption, helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Asfid's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Katolicyzm.

Asfid is ranked 41,240^th in the world and 5^th in United Commonwealth for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,200.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
