The Mind Altering Trip of The Acid Tests is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Merry Pranksters with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.478 billion Acid Testsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Haight-Ashbury. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Acid Testsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,616 trillion dollars 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 170,551 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown. The Acid Tests's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The League For Spiritual Discovery.

The Acid Tests is ranked 20,551st in the world and 14th in Hippy Haven for Most Stationary, with 1,601.97082890468 days.
