The Benevolent Viceroy of Acronis is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Matron Vana Dandreal with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.103 billion Acronians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 Environment, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal Coast. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Acronian economy, worth 470 trillion nashdats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 77,159 nashdats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, a government program is underway to revitalize Acronis's beaches, and many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acronis's national animal is the amethyst macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Akronism.

Acronis is ranked 13,686^th in the world and 377^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
