The Colony of Levi Ackerman is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 12 million Levi Ackermanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Levi Ackermanian economy, worth 331 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,630 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, euthanasia is legal, organ donation is compulsory, and voting is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levi Ackerman's national animal is the cobra.

Levi Ackerman is ranked 109,098th in the world and 29th in Pax Indica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,055.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
