Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Akbarabad is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Mallik Ali Akbar with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed population of 9.952 billion are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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 Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akbarabad City. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", the military has had its funding stripped back as the nation seeks a smaller role in international politics, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akbarabad's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Islam, and its currency is the Credit.

Akbarabad is ranked 233rd in Atlantian Oceania and 130,312th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -249 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
