The Queendom of Actios is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Hera with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.213 billion Actites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tacitinium. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Actiosian economy, worth 86.9 trillion Actums 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,607 Actums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, potatoes are known for their lead aftertaste, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Actios's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Actios is ranked 273,320^th in the world and 623^rd in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
