The Holy Serene Republic of Ashaie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Artemis II with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 10.796 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 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving A'ashai economy, worth 870 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 80,653 Silver Sais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. 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 26,448^th in the world and 1,884^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
