The Empire of Aceburn is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.052 billion Aceburnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The strong Aceburnian economy, worth 193 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 47,703 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Aceburnian democracy, and textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aceburn's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aceburn is ranked 180,120^th in the world and 7^th in Alpha Corvus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,268.04 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
