The State of Akaza is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 38.751 billion Akazans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Akazan economy, worth a remarkable 1,532 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 39,547 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,366 per year while the poor average 2,439, a ratio of 105 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Akaza has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Akaza in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem. Akaza's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Akaza is ranked 19,968^th in the world and 53^rd in Ancient Lands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 2,439.73 Standard Monetary Units.
