The Omnipresent Empire of South Acren is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Erik Richter with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.412 billion Imperials are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hive City Adlerhorst. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient South Acrenian economy, worth a remarkable 6,210 trillion Cybermarcks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 500,322 Cybermarcks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music, printing ink yields Religio Imperialis's biggest return on investment, and popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Acren's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Religio Imperialis.
South Acren is ranked 289,461st in the world and 6,808th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.32 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
