The Republic of Achiotopia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Achilleus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate population of 12.291 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achiopolis. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, theoretical science is only theoretical, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Achiotopia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the euro.

Achiotopia is ranked 881st in 10000 Islands and 26,248th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 16 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
