The Republic of Acanthodes is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.726 billion Acanthodesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Acanthodesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,381 trillion 9003s 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 158,273 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, and love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acanthodes's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Acanthodes is ranked 56,146th in the world and 1st in abuses for Most Stationary, with 786.97444772492 days.
