The Republic of Dogmatika Ashiyan is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.469 billion Dogmatika Ashiyanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dogmatika Ashiyanian economy, worth 660 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,727 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Dogmatika Ashiyan's radio stations, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dogmatika Ashiyan's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dogmatika Ashiyan is ranked 224,976th in the world and 2,599th in Suspicious for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
