The Glittering United States of Achaian is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rupert with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 19.029 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hectoricia. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, the government pours millions of platinum stones into rehabilitation programs annually, and the world outside is only known of in folklore. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Achaian's national animal is the black cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the platinum stone.

Achaian is ranked 2nd in Lazarus and 23rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 43 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
