The Queen's State of Ash Shama is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.261 billion Ash Shamans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving Ash Shaman economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 64,928 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 441,433 per year while the poor average 3,488, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Ash Shama has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ash Shama's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ash Shama is ranked 228,049^th in the world and 5^th in Detroit for Safest, scoring 21.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
