The People's Republic of Akhaw is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 198 million Akhawians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong Akhawian economy, worth 12.2 trillion monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,816 monies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,574 per year while the poor average 4,705, a ratio of 78.5 to 1.

The sick are forced to play medicine lotteries to survive, the government loves seeing the little people fight, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, and fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Akhaw's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Akhaw is ranked 317,684^th in the world and 55^th in USSR for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 5.93 Effective Tax Rate.
