The Federal Republic of Asahimachi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hiroshi Tanaka with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.213 billion Asahimachians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kōrindai. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asahimachian economy, worth 287 trillion Sahs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,980 Sahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asahimachi's national animal is the pink dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Asahimachi is ranked 131,055^th in the world and 1,749^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,481.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
