The Eilíft Norrænir Keiserríke of Askerike is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eiríkr Hákon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.093 billion Askerikeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldegud. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Askerikean economy, worth a remarkable 9,805 trillion Wergelds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 325,843 Wergelds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,075,605 per year while the poor average 73,850, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.
Prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, helicopter parenting is on the rise, and main battle tanks stalk the woods of Askerike in search of Arctic Wolves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Askerike's national animal is the Arctic Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Forn Siðr.
Askerike is ranked 81,735th in the world and 45th in Nordic Lands for Most Stationary, with 591.25220493168 days.
