The State of Acrewood is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 34.036 billion Acrewoodians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Acrewoodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,614 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,425 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,631 per year while the poor average 3,928, a ratio of 69.7 to 1.

Acrewood has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Acrewood in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Acrewood's national religion, and pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Acrewood's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Acrewood is ranked 125,624th in the world and 57th in State for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 82.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
