The Republic of Akatlar is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, conspicuous electricity pylons, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 5.814 billion Akatlarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Safranbolu. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Akatlarian economy, worth 975 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,732 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akatlar's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Akatlar is ranked 18,714^th in the world and 384^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 121.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
