The Queen's State of Akamina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.293 billion Akaminans 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 minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Defense are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Akaminan economy, worth a remarkable 1,741 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,326 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Akamina's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Akamina is ranked 202,275^th in the world and 1^st in The Midnight Region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
