The Confederacy of Ashington Dee Cee is a huge, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 897 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Public Transport are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashington Dee Cee City. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, smoking is banned in public areas, manufacturers are sued for almost anything not covered in their catalogue-sized manuals, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashington Dee Cee's national animal is the Elephant, and its currency is the Bleached Anus.

Ashington Dee Cee is ranked 9th in Outpost Uber Alles and 45,665th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
