The Federation of United Clans of Akross is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.86 billion akrossians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rozul. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient akrossian economy, worth 504 trillion Ponders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,170 Ponders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, children trade in their pickaxes for hammers and sickles, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akross's national animal is the Gigantopithecus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Akross is ranked 9,010^th in the world and 26^th in The League for Most Developed, scoring 91.37 on the Human Development Index.
