The Erruption of Mount Aso is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Showa with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.889 billion Mount Asoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naka. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The strong Mount Asoan economy, worth 153 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 53,004 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and funding for education has been redirected into the military. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Mount Aso's national animal is the grass vole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostician.

Mount Aso is ranked 56,817^th in the world and 8^th in Last Flight for Most Secular, with 19.15 Atheism Rate.
