“Because why not?”

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

The Commonwealth of ACRONYMs is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 658 million ACRONYMsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.9%.

The very strong ACRONYMsian economy, worth 34.5 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 52,501 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 167,855 per year while the poor average 12,472, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, euthanasia is legal, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. ACRONYMs's national animal is the Locker Gremlin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ACRONYMs is ranked 159,373^rd in the world and 2,143^rd in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 54.89 on the Human Development Index.
