The Island Protectorate of Akkania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Protector Kothokon bSkS with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 39.186 billion Akkanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seq'nokan. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Akkanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,441 trillion Akkars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,343 Akkars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Atheists on vacation find Mar’Fjnomoq's scriptures make useful doorstops, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Protector Kothokon bSkS holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, it is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Akkania's national animal is the Great White Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Mar’Fjnomoq.

Akkania is ranked 9,763rd in the world and 1st in The Remote Archipelago for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
