The Colony of Acraris is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Acrarisians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The Acrarisian economy, worth 576 billion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 64,059 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

A recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is well under control. Acraris's national animal is the turtle.

Acraris is ranked 241,984^th in the world and 618^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 154.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
