The Pilot of Asuka Shikinami is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Evangelion population. The hard-working population of 1.744 billion Lilins 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.

The Lilin economy, worth 85.4 trillion LCLS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 48,946 LCLS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asuka Shikinami's national animal is the Evangelion.

Asuka Shikinami is ranked 205,204^th in the world and 1^st in Evangelion for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
