The Republic of Akif is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Akifians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The Akifian economy, worth 309 billion ALS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 51,570 ALS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The green glow is a sign of clean energy, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, organ donation is compulsory, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akif's national animal is the Wolf.

Akif is ranked 115,843^rd in the world and 39^th in Tarkin for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 86.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
