Asteklion is a unitary parliamentary republic, and a developed country, with a high-income economy. While elections are considered relatively free, the government exercises a large amount of control over society and politics, and the Asteklion People's Party (APP) has ruled ever since the city's independence after the Collapse. Asteklion is also the founder of the Sarpedonic-Levantine Trade Cooperation (SLTC).
Once a ritual site during the xx Era, Asteklion was originally settled a fishing town but later became an important polis established by Istroyans during c. 1160 BC. Asteklion later reigned over two other districts, of whom Arethusa I was the ruler, before the Istroyan decline. The people were described as culturally diverse and accepting but however had a contradictory martial history with surrounding poleis. Many battles have been recorded with their neighbours, most notably the Battle of Myndomenus, which was one of the bloodiest battles in Istroyan history.
