The Empire of Ahssn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bob Ross with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.961 billion Avrorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avroraian economy, worth 527 trillion Bitcoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,036 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ahssn's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Ahssn is ranked 218,688^th in the world and 8,265^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.16 Weapons Per Person.
