The Democratic Republic of Golan Ackees is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.514 billion Golan Ackeesians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Golan Ackeesian economy, worth 218 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 144,379 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 456,330 per year while the poor average 34,877, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

Torture is illegal, the economy is green and the air is black, suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Golan Ackees's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Golan Ackees is ranked 208,451^st in the world and 1,066^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 228.11 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
