The D34th Kingdoms of Ashdash is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Crownia L Kenton with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 2.528 billion Dashians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gradian. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ashdashian economy, worth 134 trillion Dashers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,018 Dashers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Ashdash, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ashdash's national animal is the Scarlet Key Kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ashdash is ranked 67,284^th in the world and 117^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,845.57 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
