The Greater Arab Republics of Akzvoria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bashar Al-Assad with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 2.219 billion Arabs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riyadh. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Akzvorian economy, worth 208 trillion Riyal Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,109 Riyal Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, and politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akzvoria's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Akzvoria is ranked 59,540^th in the world and 40^th in Africa for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,316.31 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
