The Ancien Régime of Akdulj is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, digital currency, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.91 billion Al-Akduljikla are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Igaersta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Akdulji economy, worth a remarkable 2,198 trillion doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 246,713 doubloons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,012,824 per year while the poor average 6,546, a ratio of 307 to 1.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", and road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akdulj's national animal is the Chihuahua, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Akdulj is ranked 82,908th in the world and 6th in Sancturia for Largest Populations, with 8.91 billion capita.
