The Sovereign Elemental Reserve of Greater Akania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elarin Noelle Collingwood with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.5 billion Akanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia Prime. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Akanian economy, worth 161 trillion AR-15s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 107,780 AR-15s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-AR-15 treacle machine, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Akania's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Providence Ascension.

Greater Akania is ranked 287,107^th in the world and 711^th in The Wellspring for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
