The Monarchial Republic of Acrotasia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Minato Namikaze with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.035 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 Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creedan. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Acrotasia's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acrotasia's national animal is the Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the ACRO.

Acrotasia is ranked 249th in The East Pacific and 10,463rd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 38 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
