The North South East of West Akia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Michael Fish with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.243 billion West Akians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.5%.

The thriving West Akian economy, worth 723 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,601 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, people often complain that they're going in circuitous routes all the time, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Akia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

West Akia is ranked 108,961^st in the world and 1^st in The West Arctic for Safest, scoring 79.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
