The Republic of Achlos is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 5.431 billion Achlosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lake City. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Achlosian economy, worth 683 trillion Achlosian Coppers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,769 Achlosian Coppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Achlosian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Achlos's national animal is the Haast Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Achlos is ranked 14,421^st in the world and 64^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,414.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
