The Disputed Territories of Akuro is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Shadow Master with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.465 billion Akuroans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mother Base. The average income tax rate is 53.6%.

The powerhouse Akuroan economy, worth 823 trillion Cling Clongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 78,671 Cling Clongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, Tourism facilities are being turned into Dave habitats, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akuro's national animal is the Dave and its national religion is Order of the Wall Monster.

Akuro is ranked 64,645^th in the world and 3,746^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,575.59 Standard Monetary Units.
