The Corrective of Ackchualee is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Noah Lotte with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.507 billion Ackchualeeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mansplain City. The average income tax rate is 25.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ackchualeean economy, worth 169 trillion velvets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,741 velvets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps, and turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius'. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ackchualee's national animal is the velvet monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is smugness.

Ackchualee is ranked 132,167^th in the world and 10^th in Brazen for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,320.27 Standard Monetary Units.
