The Republic of Ackshenville is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mencius Moldbug with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.575 billion Ackshenvilleans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ackshenvillean economy, worth 213 trillion XRPS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 135,351 XRPS, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 835,332 per year while the poor average 9,517, a ratio of 87.8 to 1.

Homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ackshenville's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Profit.

Ackshenville is ranked 339,347^th in the world and 6^th in Pontbridge Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -13.42 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
