The Martial Republic of Ascoobis is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Generalissimo Reyno Nicholas with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 18.339 billion Ascoobians, 17.448 billion of whom are zombies, are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkmount. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ascoobian economy, worth a remarkable 7,172 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 244,139 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", Generalissimo Reyno Nicholas reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, the media seems excessively interested in what Generalissimo Reyno Nicholas is wearing this season, and only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ascoobis's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Ascoobis is ranked 23,252^nd in the world and 18^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,124.06 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
