The Queendom of Actios is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Hera with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.282 billion Actites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tacitinium. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Actiosian economy, worth 97.1 trillion Actums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 75,714 Actums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Actios's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Actios is ranked 21,959^th in the world and 26^th in Saint Osmund for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.64 Effective Tax Rate.
