The Planeda Unio of Askio is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ministraro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.61 billion Askians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astorio. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Askian economy, worth a remarkable 1,445 trillion Spesmiloj a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 313,522 Spesmiloj, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immigrants who don't like the taste of Askian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, the armed forces insist that UFOs aren't real... yet, the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips, and police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers. Crime is totally unknown. Askio's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Askio is ranked 95,002^nd in the world and 3^rd in Esperanto for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 300.11 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
