The Omnipresent Empire of South Acren is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Erik Richter with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.477 billion Germans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Berlin. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient South Acrenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,650 trillion Cybermarcks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 490,746 Cybermarcks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (South Acren has found 8 easter eggs), scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Acren's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

South Acren is ranked 5,787^th in the world and 5^th in Confederacy of Layem for Smartest Citizens, with 119.77 quips per hour.
