The Kingdom of Acteron is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by King Mordred Darghest with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 972 million Acteronites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rofocale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Acteronish economy, worth 86.1 trillion Obols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 88,625 Obols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,975 per year while the poor average 22,340, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Acteronish flag, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, King Mordred Darghest has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, and the nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acteron's national animal is the Supplicant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Acteron is ranked 106,799^th in the world and 19^th in Badlands Frontier for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,032.37 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
