The Benevolent Loving Theocracy of Acronis is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Matron Vana Dandreal with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.26 billion Acronians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal Coast. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Acronian economy, worth 388 trillion nashdats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 73,884 nashdats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some, children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, people have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, and in a fit of passion Matron Vana Dandreal has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acronis's national animal is the amethyst macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Akronism.

Acronis is ranked 230,160^th in the world and 7,851^st in The East Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 12.4 Insults Per Minute.
