The Federal Republic of Achlavania is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Javunn C Knottz with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.24 billion Achlavanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achlavstach. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Achlavanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,345 trillion Achteir-Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 185,848 Achteir-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a flying elephant and Javunn C Knottz share the same nickname, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime is totally unknown. Achlavania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Achlavania is ranked 5,652^nd in the world and 3^rd in Valaryia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,199.62 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
