The Republic of Devil Acre is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 3.629 billion Devil Acreans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Devil Acrean economy, worth 314 trillion British Pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 86,695 British Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the might of the entire Devil Acrean Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devil Acre's national animal is the Grimbear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Devil Acre is ranked 84,521^st in the world and 3,466^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 26.07 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
