The Epicenter of fun of Acute is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 29.468 billion Acuteans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Acutean economy, worth a remarkable 2,897 trillion $$$$$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,340 $$$$$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Acute after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acute's national animal is the Peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Acute is ranked 76,369^th in the world and 1^st in Ceuta for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 120.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
