The Matriarchy of Askxnoshi is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 639 million Askxnoshians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.5%.

The strong Askxnoshian economy, worth 38.8 trillion Xnoes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 60,727 Xnoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, politicians put their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la" when walking past lobbyists, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Askxnoshi's national animal is the Flapu’lidusha’vaxa.

Askxnoshi is ranked 107,838^th in the world and 5,838^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,090.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
