The Federation of Acaer is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 536 million Acaerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nov Zerona. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Acaerian economy, worth 39.9 trillion Acaerian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,415 Acaerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Leader, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and the government forces Acaerians to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acaer's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Acaer is ranked 52,839^th in the world and 1^st in Ideal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
