The Dáxlamic Highland Hamlets of Asapana is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Ramses Pualani with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 6.648 billion Asapanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asapana City Proper. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Asapanan economy, worth 238 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,845 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Asapana City Proper" t-shirts, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asapana's national animal is the Web-Clawed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Asapana is ranked 197,482^nd in the world and 123^rd in Declansburg for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 682.65 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
