The Republic of Actium- is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 377 million Actium-ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The strong Actium-ian economy, worth 22.7 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,109 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, the fattest folk in Actium- look to be the happiest ones, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Actium-'s national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Actium- is ranked 10,698^th in the world and 4^th in Charleslandia for Safest, scoring 118.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
