The Republic of Acendil is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 19.719 billion Acendilians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Acendilian economy, worth 177 trillion rupees 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 9,000 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acendil's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Acendil is ranked 195,773^rd in the world and 10,619^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
