The Republic of Achrom is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 5.265 billion Achromians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Rego. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Achromian economy, worth 538 trillion Fangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 102,187 Fangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can get away with murder these days, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Achrom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Achrom's national animal is the Feathered Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Achrom is ranked 178,709^th in the world and 126^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 110.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
