The Holy Serene Republic of Ashaie is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Artemis II with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 9.492 billion A'ashai are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jua'ashai. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving A'ashai economy, worth 773 trillion Silver Sais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Average income is 81,455 Silver Sais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, rumor has it that Artemis II has won three lotteries in a row, the annual budget is heralded by the Treasury Minister donning a fake plastic mustache and giant star-shaped glasses, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashaie's national animal is the Blue Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aierism.

Ashaie is ranked 26,878^th in the world and 6^th in Meihua for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 204.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
