The Lunatic Nerds of Resilient Acceleration is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Secretary Arka Pasca with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.688 billion Homo dei hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reno Area Innovation Zone. The average income tax rate is 19.2%.

The Homo Deic economy, worth 307 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,057 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Entire families are dragged into counseling whenever children fight on a playground, a policy of plausible deniability helps protect the government from athletic doping scandals, former state leaders include a TV comic and a cowboy actor, and pet rocks are sold by the pound. Crime is relatively low. Resilient Acceleration's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dataism.

Resilient Acceleration is ranked 45,179^th in the world and 1^st in Garden of the Crashed Esophage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,147.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
