The Allied States of A C R E is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by General Secretary with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.713 billion Acreians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castrograd. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The C R Eian economy, worth 366 trillion europesoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,219 europesoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A C R E's national animal is the armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A C R E is ranked 13,808^th in the world and 169^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,490.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
