Asteria, officially the Democratic Republic of Asteria (Asteria: Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία της Αστερίας Romanization: Laïkí Dimokratía tis Asterías), is a country in southeastern Europe, on the southernmost tip of the Balkan Peninsula. At the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and Asia, Asteria is considered the birthplace of western democracy, philosophy, mathematics, and literature. However, these symbols of Asteria have been crushed under the oppressive socialist dictatorship that took over in 1896, after Asteria revolted from the Oghuzi Empire. Asteria's current president, Dmitri Azimov, has sought to undo this and has begun a process of decentralization of the state apparatus, returning political and economic powers back to the people.

Politics and government

Asteria is a one-party dictatorship, although it is currently headed towards becoming a democracy.
