The Rogue Nation of The Ash Lands Frontier is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Woo Jin Chul with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.43 billion Ash Landians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ark. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ash Lands Frontierian economy, worth 130 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,343 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrant herding has become a national pastime, male celebrity chefs are laughed at for their lack of manliness, Woo Jin Chul spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ash Lands Frontier's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Ash Lands Frontier is ranked 36,907^th in the world and 22^nd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,212.67 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
