The Dictatorship of Ake is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 201 million Akeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.5%.

The Akean economy, worth 11.0 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 54,743 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Ake's national animal is the panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ake is ranked 50,822^nd in the world and 1^st in Busch stadium for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,669.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
