The Federation of Acastanha is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Miranda Garbuno with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 8.43 billion Acastanhadas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amarelda. The average income tax rate is 49.8%.

The strong Acastanhada economy, worth 680 trillion Acastanha Patacas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,742 Acastanha Patacas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acastanha's national animal is the North Brown Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Acastanha is ranked 105,843^rd in the world and 4^th in Mandalanusa for Most Patriotic, with 14.49 flags saluted per person per day.
