The Great Imperial Reich of Aktemuth is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Harry Woods with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.144 billion Aktemuthans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The very strong Aktemuthan economy, worth 88.8 trillion Muthcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,590 Muthcoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Woods has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, children as young as eight can be found working in factories, it takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads, and Real Free Masons has been named as Aktemuth's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aktemuth's national animal is the GIANT F'N GRAPE, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Real Free Masons.

Aktemuth is ranked 47,569^th in the world and 8^th in OrangeJuice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
