The Spooky Spiderdog🕷️🐶 of Aason is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Spiderwither Patches with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.224 billion Aasonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arachnid City. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aasonian economy, worth 274 trillion Aason dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,648 Aason dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Arachnid City for fear of causing a fuss, and teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aason's national animal is the Cosmophasis umbratica, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Aason is ranked 7,430^th in the world and 10^th in Carcassonne for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,962.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
