Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Akbarabad is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mallick Ali Akbar with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed population of 7.138 billion are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akbarabad City. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

New religious sects are squashed immediately by the government, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, the government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas, and all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akbarabad's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Islam, and its currency is the Credit.

Akbarabad is ranked 80th in Atlantian Oceania and 92,742nd in the world for Best Weather, with -327 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
