The Empire of Afslavistakistania is a tiny island off the shores of Tekari, really only large enough to sustain the tiny government and the few military hospitals that support the massive army. The only production taking place there occurs at the shipyards and the robot manufacturing plant. The rest of the nation is spread across the world on ships.

Only around five percent of the population has any education, the rest are in the military or are pushing buttons in the heavily automated factories located on ships scattered throughout the world's oceans. These five percent are highly educated and intelligent, and form the backbone of the nation's industrial capacity. Instead of producing goods, though, the workers produce robots that build capital, which themselves are mainly robots producing finished goods. No output is touched by human hands until pulled out from the box that is was delivered in by robotic couriers. The economy of Afslavistakistania is unique in other regards too, as there are strict price controls, while money is printed and distributed evenly among the populace. The price controls push the companies to upgrade their capital, which is easy anyway, as the freshly minted money is distributed amongst companies evenly as well. Wage controls are not needed, as labor is in such scarce supply. Almost fifty percent of all educated citizens are employed by the government at various research facilities to research methods to increase productivity, which compounds the labor situation. Because of this, unemployment is unheard of, and even a beggar off the street can get a job paying over fifty Sovereigns an hour working as a button pusher in a factory(note that robotic button pushing is being researched right now by our scientists). As a new luxury car only costs around eighteen thousand Sovereigns, even a former beggar would be considered rich when compared to other nations. Citizen soldiers on the other hand, have a slightly rougher time. Consisting of about ninety five percent of the above twelve population, citizen soldiers are a massive group. They are not paid an hourly wage, but instead receive the same amount of money from the government that every citizen receives. They may work in a factory as a button pusher during peace time, but they will not receive pay, instead they receive stock in that company. After many generations, a family that has gathered enough stock can move up into the high society, and can get education for their children at the various private schools, so that they wouldn't be forced into the military. Other than that, a citizen soldier spends his or her days shopping or fighting. Spending money is the national past time, as saving money is disallowed. Fighting is not a national past time, but it does happen quite frequently. The Empire of Afslavistakistania has a proud military history, which is mainly a fabrication, but Afslavistakistania does have a massive army. Besides it's shear mass of numbers, the military has a huge amount of equipment, and much of the production capacity is devoted to building more. Also, throughout the world, Afslavistakistania is known for it's transportation capabilities. It can transport eight divisions to anywhere in the world within forty eight hours of a war starting, and another thirty within a week. The entire army can be moved from one side of the world all the way to the other in as little as three months. This is because of the massive air transport and sea transport capabilities of the nation. As all of the goods are produced on ships, they must be transported across the seas. Because of this, there are over thirty thousand large cargo ships that can be commandeered by the navy to transport the military. Overall, the nation can defend itself, and it's neighbors in the OSN region, by quickly and forcefully projecting it's power anywhere in the world within hours. It can be half a world away, and still move it's troops from one front to the next in less time than the enemy on it's home turf.

Some special things to note: The amount of money minted and distributed by the government is determined by how much capital is to be produced, and how much output will grow. This is to ensure that there will never be any supply shortages, which would cause massive problems, as all money must be spent, but prices cannot rise. Also, the educated workers, producing capital, are motivated to do so by the stock that they receive in that company, and the company is motivated to produce capital because all capital produced is owned by that company. Also, all profits are distributed to the shareholders as dividends, providing an extra incentive to work. Of course, if you're unproductive, you must report to your local recruitment board, and discuss with them your possible position in the army, right next to your family that has just dropped out of the high society.
