The Planeda Unio of Askio is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ministraro with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.974 billion Askians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astorio. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Askian economy, worth a remarkable 1,646 trillion Spesmiloj a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 330,971 Spesmiloj, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Air purifiers fight smoke machines on Askian stage setups, replacement organs are grown in vats, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime is totally unknown. Askio's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Askio is ranked 2,186^th in the world and 1^st in Esperanto for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,553.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
