The Holy Empire of Akkoku is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ersatz Chikan with an iron fist, and notable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.989 billion Akkokujin are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seiji Hauptstadt. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Aku economy, worth 378 trillion Chis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 34,471 Chis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State media insists that Ersatz Chikan is the most fashionable leader in Balder, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and the nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akkoku's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Koyuujin.

Akkoku is ranked 253,286^th in the world and 9,846^th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,615.67 Standard Monetary Units.
