The biggest and the only official language in the nation is French, spoken by both the majority Acirien ethnic group and the minority Montagner ethnic group, the latter speaking it with its own unique, distinctive accent from the rest of the nation. Académie Française ensures the sanctity of the language and keeps foreign language influence in the language in check. | The biggest and the only official language in the nation is French, spoken by both the majority Acirien ethnic group and the minority Montagner ethnic group, the latter speaking it with its own unique, distinctive accent from the rest of the nation.

Higher education is free in Aciria, paid for by the government. Due to this, how many students are taken in annually is limited, creating a lucrative industry for students who want to prepare for the exams. Higher education is available to all, but due to the connections nobles and aristocrats have, they often sponsor the schools to encourage them to pick their children, if they have reason to suspect their child's entrance exams would go less-than-ideally. | |||

Universal healthcare is present in Aciria, with a small private sector allowed for things such as plastic surgery and dentalcare. Universal healthcare often has long waiting lines for non lifethreatening problems, causing the waiting rooms to be full all day round in the various hospitals and clinics around the country. The state has the right to move medical professionals from facility to facility, region to region if one facility or region is lacking in professionals, and even is known for taking people out the private sector to work in the public sector during health crisis'. | |||

Despite the vast wealth of the nation, majority of the population belongs to either lower- or lower middle class, the wealth often being funneled to the ultra-rich who are infamous for their lavish, decadent lifestyles. Despite on paper, the constitution guarantees equal rights for Aciriens, the lower classes are practically unable to attend higher education or enter politics. Success in the military is the only real way for lower classes to rise in the social structure, for both lower and higher ranked military officers can enjoy great benefits. | Despite the vast wealth of the nation, majority of the population belongs to either lower- or lower middle class, the wealth often being funneled to the ultra-rich who are infamous for their lavish, decadent lifestyles.
