The Corporacy of Acornesia is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.832 billion Acornesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The powerhouse Acornesian economy, worth 334 trillion acorns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 87,416 acorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Major boxing matches are held in government buildings, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and heavily subsidised Acornesian baskets litter the streets of Carcassonne. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Acornesia's national animal is the cuttlefish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Acornesia is ranked 215,186^th in the world and 668^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 33.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
