The Dáxlamic Parish Cluster of Asapana is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by General Ramses Pualani with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 6.899 billion Asapanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asapana City Proper. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Asapanan economy, worth 261 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 37,871 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and sometimes a single pallbearer is all you need. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asapana's national animal is the Web-Clawed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Asapana is ranked 102,548^th in the world and 82^nd in Declansburg for Most Patriotic, with 17.52 flags saluted per person per day.
