The Free Land of Akephalia is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.512 billion Akephalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Akephalian economy, worth 54.4 trillion freedoms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 21,672 freedoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are now trained how to make sandwiches properly, Leader is spearheading a new fashion trend of wearing swimming goggles and medieval armour, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime is totally unknown. Akephalia's national animal is the sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Akephalia is ranked 43,073^rd in the world and 4^th in Optimarch for Most Extreme, scoring 32.59 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
