The Sultanate of Acman

“Strength Through Compliance”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Sultanate of Acman is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by ROCKTAVIUS THE GREAT with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.15 billion Non-vegies are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tonsworth. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Acmanian economy, worth 75.3 trillion bamboos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 65,461 bamboos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, A-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, requests for password resets peak during election season, and troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acman's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Acman is ranked 37,085^th in the world and 1^st in Bangladesh for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
