The Republic of Aekp is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and frequent executions. The democratic, devout population of 300 million akeps enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of orta. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aekpian economy, worth 19.6 trillion doaks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 65,363 doaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the entire entry for Aekp in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Aekpian weed picker are way up, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aekp's national animal is the leoak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aekp is ranked 564^th in the world and 367^th in The North Pacific for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 246 valid endorsements.
