The Queen's State of Achtzehn is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.302 billion Achtzehnians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality and Law & Order not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The powerhouse Achtzehnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,584 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,882 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 305,149 per year while the poor average 2,411, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Military funding has been stripped back, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, voting is voluntary, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Achtzehn's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Achtzehn is ranked 59,783rd in the world and 367th in Ancient Lands for Most Stationary, with 766.0990235852 days.
