The Fiefdom of -Acheron is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and zero percent divorce rate. The quiet, industrious population of 156 million -Acheronians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient -Acheronian economy, worth 6.14 trillion ryous a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,342 ryous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, cars are banned, and divorce is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Acheron's national animal is the bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-Acheron is ranked 78,133^rd in the world and 278^th in Remembrance for Most Beautiful Environments, with 598.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
