The Acropoli

Population68 million

The Dominion of The Acropoli is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 68 million Acropolians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Acropolian economy, worth 1.22 trillion Axias 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail. Average income is 17,918 Axias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Acropoli's national animal is the Legionary Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Acropoli is ranked 247,647th in the world and 421st in UEPU for Nicest Citizens, with 8.98 average smiles per day.
