The Kawii floof of Ashi is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.619 billion Ashians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 60.5%.

The powerhouse Ashian economy, worth a remarkable 1,107 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,321 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, school football matches are usually five-a-side, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashi's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ashi is ranked 122,111^th in the world and 1^st in Demonica confederation for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 647.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
