The Red State of RedAkadia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Akai the Red with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 1.225 billion RedAkadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ainkuraddo. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient RedAkadian economy, worth 178 trillion pieceses of eight 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 145,872 pieceses of eight, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in RedAkadia, the big red machine has ground to a halt, and the nation's nuclear defence policy is to "turn the other cheek". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RedAkadia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pastafarian Jedi Witchcraft.

RedAkadia is ranked 93,018th in the world and 3rd in Chaotic Nations of Misfits Alliance for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,774.83 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
