The Grand Duchy of Asanagi META is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.264 billion Asanagi METAians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.1%.

The strong Asanagi METAian economy, worth 244 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,398 Delta Eagles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,405 per year while the poor average 13,326, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, the government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asanagi META's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Asanagi META is ranked 225,391^st in the world and 7^th in Chiba for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
