The North South West of East Akia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.19 billion East Akians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.1%.

The frighteningly efficient East Akian economy, worth 911 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,407 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rural citizens live in terror of their local village constable, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of East Akian sovereign territory, and personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. East Akia's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

East Akia is ranked 1,519^th in the world and 1^st in The East Arctic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 17,275.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
