The Astroid Kingdom of Several Space Rocks is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Astrid McCool with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory vegetarianism, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.713 billion Several Space Rocksians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crater Lake. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Several Space Rocksian economy, worth a remarkable 1,401 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,265 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Several Space Rocks's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mundunce.

Several Space Rocks is ranked 4,526^th in the world and 1^st in Asteroids for Most Corrupt Governments, with 239.24 kickbacks per hour.
