The Republic of The Achericend is a massive, genial nation, ruled by this guy I know with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.134 billion Achericendians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yrohpolis. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Achericendian economy, worth 119 trillion Kronor 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 105,245 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Achericend's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Achericend is ranked 15,712^th in the world and 449^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 116.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
