The Imperial Providence of Acro is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Andrew Lawson with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.243 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Acro to be bombproof. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acro's national animal is the daedric, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Libertus, and its currency is the Lero.

Acro is ranked 2nd in Fratum and 11,315th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 9 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
