The Republic of Acid Island is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.037 billion Acid Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.0%.

The strong Acid Islandian economy, worth 241 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,545 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,119 per year while the poor average 12,367, a ratio of 26.9 to 1.

Foreign lack of enthusiasm for Acid Islandian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and Acid Island successfully hosted the The grimy backyard of Bigej Olympics. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acid Island's national animal is the Clam, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Acid Island is ranked 43,165^th in the world and 284^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 167.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
