The Frozen Haven of Asherjuko is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Elaine Reynolds with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.88 billion Asherjukoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jellybean Plaza. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asherjukoan economy, worth 543 trillion Jukocoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,479 Jukocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elaine Reynolds's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asherjuko's national animal is the Maine Coon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asherjuko is ranked 25,857th in the world and 47th in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
