Ashta
Nation: Daytanistan
Capital: Kafish
Leader: Supreme Daytan People's Council

The Socialist Province of Ashta is Daytanistan's northernmost province. It is dominated by rocky mountains, which in winter time are often covered by snow. Most of the population are Ashoons, although the other shoobdimans are present in a minority. According to central government estimates, which are notoriously inaccurate, 81% of the population of Ashta is Ashoon, 15% are Daytars, and the remaining 4% are Zirkshes. Ashta is the smallest province in Daytanistan, both in terms of area and population. Ashta has five distinct regions - Qalal, Thash, Mukhdoo, Pooshta, and the city of Kafish itself.

Ashta's provincial legislature is the Soviet of People's Deputies for the Socialist Province of Ashta, and there are only four provincial People's Commissioners for Ashta. A provincial People's Commissioner is responsible for a portfolio of executive and departmental functions within their province, and is appointed by the Supreme Daytan People's Council. The provincial commissioners are:

  • Mamood Bashta, People's Commissioner of Health, Police, Agriculture, Motherland Border Security, Culture, and Thought for the Socialist Province of Ashta
  • Khemal Shep, People's Commissioner of Racing, Cock-Fighting, Sports, Inter-Shoobdiman Affairs, and Roads for the Socialist Province of Ashta
  • Petran Medi, People's Commissioner of Typewriters and Typeface Standardisation, Regional Soviet Oversight, Local Soviet Oversight, and Dismantlement of Organised Religion for the Socialist Province of Ashta
  • Shahan Woob, People's Commissioner of Livestock Inspection, Safety, Literacy, Mines and Energy, Radio, Communications, and Water for the Socialist Province of Ashta
