The People's United Soviets of Asenusia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairman Nelson with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.047 billion Asenusians 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 Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marxia. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Asenusian economy, worth 885 trillion Asenusian Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,398 Asenusian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and the official Asenusian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Asenusia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Asenusia is ranked 287,078^th in the world and 451^st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
