The Republic of Actie is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Cat population. The hard-working population of 8.313 billion Actieans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The Actiean economy, worth 358 trillion Iscles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,009 Iscles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Actie's national animal is the Cat.

Actie is ranked 227,566^th in the world and 9,981^st in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 22.9 quips per hour.
