OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of The Achericend is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by this guy I know with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.045 billion Achericendians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yrohpolis. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Achericendian economy, worth 100 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 96,288 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a law against "filthy foreign food", shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Achericend's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Achericend is ranked 37,064th in the world and 861st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
