The Republic of Achrom is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 5.286 billion Achromians 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 prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Rego. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Achromian economy, worth 540 trillion Fangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 102,187 Fangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can get away with murder these days, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Achrom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Achrom's national animal is the Feathered Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Achrom is ranked 14,507^th in the world and 60^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,166.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
