The Epicenter of fun of Acute is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 29.852 billion Acuteans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Acutean economy, worth a remarkable 2,916 trillion $$$$$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,697 $$$$$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Halberds are common 18th birthday presents, wandering Acuteans are known for their one-track minds, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acute's national animal is the Peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Acute is ranked 52,643^rd in the world and 1^st in Ceuta for Largest Black Market, with 14.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
