The Democratic Republic of ASAKA is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 402 million ASAKAians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ASAKA City. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong ASAKAian economy, worth 28.4 trillion Bhais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,744 Bhais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Raccoons are plump and satiated, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor. Crime is totally unknown. ASAKA's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ASAKA is ranked 122,105^th in the world and 1,990^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 58.3 on the Human Development Index.
