The Federal Republic of Achlavania is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Javunn C Vierstraught with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.332 billion Achlavanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achlavstach. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Achlavanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,474 trillion Achteir-Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 200,641 Achteir-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must decide whether to go number one or number two, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps, and kindhearted Achlavanians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime is totally unknown. Achlavania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Achlavania is ranked 11,012^th in the world and 7^th in Valaryia for Highest Average Incomes, with 200,641.63 Standard Monetary Units.
