The Great Democratic Federation of Aketura is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 559 million Aketurians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constanzal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The powerhouse Aketuran economy, worth 33.7 trillion Tarils a year, is highly specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,214 Tarils, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Tarils each year, nudity is frowned upon, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aketura's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aketura is ranked 148,181^st in the world and 118^th in Enadia for Most Politically Free, scoring 53.33 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
