The LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEE of Acronis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Mital II with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.843 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, outspoken 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 Zaram. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Acronian economy, worth 354 trillion gold dubloons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 73,230 gold dubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, citizens pray for sunshine so that they can use illicit sundials for timekeeping, citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", and religion makes people horny. 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 sea star, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Akronism.

Acronis is ranked 160,501^st in the world and 2,838^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 100 billion Standard Monetary Units.
