The Empire of the New Sun of The United Lands of Ash is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Gorgon Lightfeather with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.424 billion Ashians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elkmont. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ashian economy, worth a remarkable 6,997 trillion flaks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 342,618 flaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Ashians like vultures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The United Lands of Ash's national animal is the griffon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Darkwood.

The United Lands of Ash is ranked 11,116th in the world and 2nd in The Universal Order of Nations for Most Stationary, with 2,195.08114375828 days.
