The Empire of Actulan is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 170 million Actulanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Actulanian economy, worth 10.1 trillion Buckos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,635 Buckos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,349 per year while the poor average 14,760, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Actulan's national animal is the Goldfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Actulan is ranked 163,226^th in the world and 163^rd in Karma for Most Pacifist, with 62.37 cheeks turned per day.
