The United Island States of AHSCA is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marcella Villa with an even hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 26.437 billion AHSCAians 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is primarily concerned with Environment, with Healthcare, Social Policy, and Defense also on the agenda, while Administration is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora Island. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The strong AHSCAian economy, worth a remarkable 3,258 trillion island credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 123,270 island credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calling dibs is an unalienable right, every noble family has a 'personal file' on record courtesy of the central intelligence service, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and kids are exceptionally good at digging holes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AHSCA's national animal is the Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Madokamism.

AHSCA is ranked 160,384^th in the world and 74^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Pro-Market, scoring -81.89 on the Rand Index.
