The Republic of Asnok is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 6.396 billion Asnokians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.

The very strong Asnokian economy, worth 405 trillion Avsahs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,381 Avsahs, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Asnok's national animal is the Kcoceap, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asnok is ranked 45,117^th in the world and 1^st in Lassa for Highest Drug Use, scoring 289.34 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
