The United Kingdom of Akhmola is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 678 million Akhmolans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aktau. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Akhmolan economy, worth 15.8 trillion Akhmolan Tenges 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. 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 23,272 Akhmolan Tenges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, Akhmola has designated Aktau as its capital city, and would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akhmola's national animal is the Steppe Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Akhmola is ranked 137,315^th in the world and 270^th in The League for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,382.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
