The Everlasting Autocracy of Nightmare Acropolis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Class Nightmaren Reala with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, digital currency, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.639 billion Nightmarens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Twin Seeds. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nightmaren economy, worth an astonishing 10,439 trillion Mobiums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 482,425 Mobiums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

People are raising their middle finger to non-digital currencies, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Nightmaren beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nightmare Acropolis's national animal is the Nightopian, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ideyaism.

Nightmare Acropolis is ranked 705^th in the world and 28^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 554.38 kickbacks per hour.
