The Empire of Acamos is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Catherine II with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.895 billion Acamosians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viola Voleta. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Acamosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,019 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,253 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acamos's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Acamos is ranked 97,234^th in the world and 9^th in Mediterranean for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 99.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
