“Acabar en éxito”

The Grand Duchy of Acario is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 6.073 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and the Environment are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A large private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, meat-eating is frowned upon, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acario's national animal is the argorok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the fyrus.

Acario is ranked 161st in the region and 50,646th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
