The Republic of Asantia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Adam Rila with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 24.452 billion Asantians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markador. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asantian economy, worth a remarkable 2,669 trillion Bits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,163 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Adam Rila's political rallies, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asantia's national animal is the River Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Asantia is ranked 167,778^th in the world and 2^nd in Beastopia for Largest Black Market, with 867 billion Standard Monetary Units.
