The Uncertain State of Ashmoria is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 49.229 billion Ashmorians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The strong Ashmorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,233 trillion sps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 45,361 sps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashmoria's national animal is the vole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
