The Republic of Achird is a large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-working population of 192 million Achirdians, 183 million of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The Achirdian economy, worth 16.5 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 50,324 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Achird's national animal is the eagle.

Achird is ranked 190,871^st in the world and 5^th in Citizens Alliance of Democracy for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 89.27 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
