The Kingdom of The Ashes State is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stitch with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.917 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 Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warwick. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ashes Statean economy, worth a remarkable 1,054 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,506 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 77,741^st in the world and 630^th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 88,506.71 Standard Monetary Units.
