The Republic of Akatlar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.097 billion Akatlarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Safranbolu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Akatlarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,255 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,951 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 499,496 per year while the poor average 50,180, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship, all work and no play makes parties very dull, and playing card suits are sold separately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akatlar's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dastnurism.

Akatlar is ranked 8,926th in the world and 231st in Europe for Safest, scoring 121.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
