The Republic of Republic of Ash-Land is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 3.888 billion Ash-Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ash-land. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ash-Landian economy, worth 455 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,204 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematicians are hated by children across the country, sex-ed is child's play, business is banging at no-tell motels, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Ash-Land's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic of Ash-Land is ranked 9,036^th in the world and 161^st in 10000 Islands for Nicest Citizens, with 35.15 average smiles per day.
