The Armed Republic of Asnya is a mid-sized, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 62 million Asnyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.0%.

The strong Asnyan economy, worth 3.33 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 53,632 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asnya's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Asnya is ranked 182,598^th in the world and 101^st in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 24.03 Effective Tax Rate.
