The Sovereign Elemental Reserve of Greater Akania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elarin Noelle Collingwood with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.58 billion Akanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia Prime. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Akanian economy, worth 172 trillion AR-15s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 109,460 AR-15s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The blood on the hands of Elarin Noelle Collingwood may not be metaphorical, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, spies caught in Greater Akania are never heard from again, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Akania's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Providence Ascension.

Greater Akania is ranked 272,498^th in the world and 663^rd in The Wellspring for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
