The Erruption of Mount Aso is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Showa with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.784 billion Mount Asoans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naka. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.

The strong Mount Asoan economy, worth 146 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,655 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, war is made in the name of love, Emperor Showa claims to be the epitome of family values, and the first test of a good kindergartener is the quality of the sponge-baths they give. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Mount Aso's national animal is the grass vole and its national religion is Agnostician.

Mount Aso is ranked 32,364^th in the world and 6^th in Last Flight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,548.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
