The '98 Tacoma Water Pump Gasket of Aktemuth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Harry Woods with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.241 billion Aktemuthans 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The very strong Aktemuthan economy, worth 97.4 trillion Muthcoins 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 78,477 Muthcoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, Aktemuthans are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aktemuth's national animal is the Drake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Real Free Masons.

Aktemuth is ranked 123,843^rd in the world and 19^th in OrangeJuice for Safest, scoring 72.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
