The Prefecture of Achernar Prime is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Consul s'Raddek with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.364 billion Romulans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Romulus. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romulan economy, worth 598 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,192 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and people say chess victor Consul s'Raddek can kill you with mind-bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Achernar Prime's national animal is the Sehlat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Achernar Prime is ranked 47,444^th in the world and 1,117^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 28.69 flags saluted per person per day.
