The Ancien Régime of Akdulj is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, enforced nudity, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.966 billion Al-Akduljikla are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Igaersta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Akdulji economy, worth a remarkable 2,172 trillion doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 242,325 doubloons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,036,628 per year while the poor average 5,465, a ratio of 372 to 1.

Tourists are duped into trimming hedges for the horsy-set, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, children talking about the food chain are routinely arrested, and prank shows are so hot right now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akdulj's national animal is the Chihuahua, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Akdulj is ranked 4,478^th in the world and 2^nd in Sancturia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,927.99 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
