The Republic of Ashe is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.66 billion Asheans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 36.5%.

The very strong Ashean economy, worth 511 trillion gold coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,117 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ashe's national animal is the minion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ashe is ranked 131,049^th in the world and 456^th in Remembrance for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,117.54 Standard Monetary Units.
