The Republic of Asmensia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 139 million Asmensians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Asmensian economy, worth 8.70 trillion pims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,568 pims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Asmensia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Asmensia is ranked 26,529^th in the world and 17^th in Kerbals of the North for Nicest Citizens, with 20.98 average smiles per day.
