The Federation of Acaer is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 567 million Acaerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nov Zerona. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Acaerian economy, worth 42.1 trillion Acaerian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,308 Acaerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Nov Zerona Natural History Museum, populations of two-headed Tortoises have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Tortoise, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acaer's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Acaer is ranked 140,754^th in the world and 2^nd in Ideal for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,269.75 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
