The State of Achigen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 44.539 billion Achigenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Welfare, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Achigenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,236 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,207 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,598 per year while the poor average 10,341, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Achigen in an international press conference, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing the Governor to cartoon bears, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Achigen's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Achigen is ranked 330,200^th in the world and 1^st in Achigen for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -7.07 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
