The United Socialist States of North Acren is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Alexandr Sterkovic with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.719 billion Acrenese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trekograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The powerhouse North Acrenian economy, worth 734 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,368 Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against North Acrenian ambassadors, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, school children are forced to sing the national anthem every morning, and property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Acren's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox.

North Acren is ranked 21,827^th in the world and 924^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 54.66 Whatever.
