The Grand Sovereign Community of Acrocastrum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.366 billion Acrocastrals are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The powerhouse Acrocastral economy, worth a remarkable 1,275 trillion counts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,959 counts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,642 per year while the poor average 10,065, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate. Acrocastrum's national animal is the greenfinch.

Acrocastrum is ranked 154,017^th in the world and 2^nd in Quaoar for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,676.3 Standard Monetary Units.
