The Republic of Academus is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.757 billion Academusians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Academusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion 9003s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,270 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Academus's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Academus is ranked 56,145th in the world and 1st in abusers for Most Stationary, with 786.97448244712 days.
