The Rogue Nation of Asuka X Rei is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 616 million Asuka X Reians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Asuka X Reian economy, worth 7.72 trillion yen 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 12,536 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asuka X Rei's national animal is the mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asuka X Rei is ranked 171,423^rd in the world and 1^st in Friendship for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 452.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
