The Accidental ASS Puns of Aspen Forest is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.625 billion Aspen Forestians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aspen Forestian economy, worth 839 trillion gorillazzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 126,717 gorillazzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, and the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Aspen Forest has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aspen Forest's national animal is the gorilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aspen Forest is ranked 207,696th in the world and 2,693rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 38.94728757372 days.
