The Guardians of South Akia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Servalan with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.917 billion South Akians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akia. The average income tax rate is 26.7%.

The all-consuming South Akian economy, worth 728 trillion Federation Credits a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 61,168 Federation Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Emigrants arrive on foreign shores with nothing but pocket sand, nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, Servalan has promised 'power to the puppies', and employers are gradually adapting to the alien premise of paying wages to their workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Akia's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Akia.

South Akia is ranked 121,583^rd in the world and 140^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,168.36 Standard Monetary Units.
