The Republic of Achlos is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 5.461 billion Achlosians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lake City. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Achlosian economy, worth 687 trillion Achlosian Coppers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,893 Achlosian Coppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and most citizens in Achlos are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Achlos's national animal is the Haast Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Achlos is ranked 204,172^nd in the world and 222^nd in Conch Kingdom for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.2 kickbacks per hour.
