The Union of Asian Communes is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by General Secretary Sun Jun with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.869 billion Asians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beijing. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Asian economy, worth 450 trillion New Yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 157,016 New Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, and picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asian Communes's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asian Communes is ranked 4,007^th in the world and 19^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Developed, scoring 95.93 on the Human Development Index.
