The Kingdom of Akua-Niihau is a huge, devout nation, ruled by Pharaoh M-7 with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.064 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Equality and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akua-M7 City. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, skate-parks can be found in every city, the government has enacted freedom of information, and citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akua-Niihau's national animal is the Killer Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Pu-Pu Shell.

Akua-Niihau is ranked 1st in Pharaocracy of Kemti and 80,406th in the world for Nicest Citizens, with 5 Smiles Per Hour (net).
