The Corrective of Ackchualee is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Noah Lotte with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.157 billion Ackchualeeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mansplain City. The average income tax rate is 23.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ackchualeean economy, worth 159 trillion velvets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,861 velvets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, sanitary products are sold in brown paper at hairdressers' salons, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ackchualee's national animal is the velvet monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is smugness.

Ackchualee is ranked 214,655^th in the world and 12^th in Brazen for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
