The Democratic Republic of East Akra is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Imogen Devorah with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.176 billion East Akrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirak Al. The average income tax rate is 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Akran economy, worth 529 trillion shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 166,719 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. East Akra's national animal is the trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

East Akra is ranked 170,980^th in the world and 7,898^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
