The Empire of Akyurt is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.83 billion Akyurtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Akyurtian economy, worth 425 trillion Köles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,000 Köles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Homophobia is off the menu, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akyurt's national animal is the polar bear.

Akyurt is ranked 151,023^rd in the world and 147^th in The Eighth Closet for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 720.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
