The Imperial Federation of Asukana is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Juita with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.71 billion Asukanan 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryū. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Asukanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,319 trillion Kyunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 231,003 Kyunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, Asukanian politicians are often described as having more style than substance, home renovation projects take decades to complete, and in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Asukana's national animal is the Golden Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Asukana is ranked 22,139^th in the world and 15^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,277.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
