The Kingdom of The Ashes State is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stitch with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 7.479 billion Ashes Stateans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warwick. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ashes Statean economy, worth 629 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,159 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stitch is worshipped as a god, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of The Ashes State's radio stations, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ashes State's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of 626.

The Ashes State is ranked 226,686^th in the world and 3,260^th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -103.61 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
