The Democratic Republic of East Akra is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Lori Ackerman with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.326 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montclairé. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Akran economy, worth 365 trillion dinars 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 157,152 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that an East Akran woman's work is never done, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime is totally unknown. East Akra's national animal is the trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Judaism.

East Akra is ranked 180,505^th in the world and 8,635^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
