The Akrahi Republic of English Cambodia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arsonist with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.593 billion Akrahi are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty Palace. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Akrahi economy, worth 778 trillion Akrahi Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 169,429 Akrahi Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, anti-government web sites are springing up, all you have to do is pray to get into English Cambodia, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. English Cambodia's national animal is the Akrahi Moth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Akrahi Divination.
English Cambodia is ranked 252,095th in the world and 8,710th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 1.11 average smiles per day.
