The Republic of Akatlar is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.731 billion Akatlarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Safranbolu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Akatlarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,199 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,166 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akatlar's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dastnurism.

Akatlar is ranked 221,118^th in the world and 891^st in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
