The Empire of Ashanti is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Osei Tutu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 25.997 billion Ashantians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kumasi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ashantian economy, worth a remarkable 2,103 trillion cedis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,897 cedis, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, young adults still believe that Birds deliver newborns to expecting parents, economists claim no news is good news, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ashanti's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ashanti is ranked 13,470th in the world and 749th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 105 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
