The Citizens' Pact of Akerlund is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Minister Konrad Patzig with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.005 billion Akerlunders 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Löwental. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Akerlundish economy, worth 564 trillion euromarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,443 euromarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Akerlundish Liberator", you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Akerlund's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.
Akerlund is ranked 45,657th in the world and 10th in Norway for Largest Populations, with 10.0 billion capita.
