The United States of Acrabinnia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Steven Hoffmann with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 19.539 billion Acrabinnians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mobea. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Acrabinnian economy, worth a remarkable 4,612 trillion Acrabinnian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 236,060 Acrabinnian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Acrabinnian schools, it's illegal to be caught on tape, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Acrabinnia's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Acrabinnia is ranked 11,326^th in the world and 133^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 436 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
