The Republic of Akillian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Akillian Talleyrand with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 22.448 billion Akillianiteses 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hampton. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Akillianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,870 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,305 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing numbers of children in Akillian have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBA Governor goes house hunting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akillian's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Akillian is ranked 4,970^th in the world and 11^th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,739.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
