The Glittering United States of Achaian is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rupert with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 16.855 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.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Achaian to be bombproof. 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 3,078th in Lazarus and 91,730th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
