The Eternal Misfortune of Askatopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Executioner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.216 billion Disposables are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Education and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Disposable economy, worth an astonishing 13,459 trillion Nuclear Bombs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 634,382 Nuclear Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment, contestants on Askatopia's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and those who turn the other cheek seem to enjoy being slapped just a little too much. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Askatopia's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Askatopia is ranked 128,867th in the world and 34th in Pencil Sharpeners Puppet Storage for Most Stationary, with 258.1568833906 days.
