On 28 April 1769, Acara became the eighth state to admitted into Cartadania and the second state to form from the Charente territory. By 1800, it had become the largest producer of Coffee in Cartadania, accounting for 26% of the nation's yield. It is still one of the largest coffee producing states in the country today, largely due to Acara's rural nature. The state is not very urbanized and a large portion of its economy is based on agriculture. A majority of its 83 counties are rural or suburban in nature, excepting those in the metro area of Dorado which are quite urban.
Acara lies entirely within the Urlazio coastal plain, and generally consists of lowland plains and low hills. The far northwestern portion of the state, at its tri-point with Aleira and Treviso, is the only mountainous portion of the state and contains it's highest peak, rising to 2,876 meters (~9,400 ft). The state lies mostly north of the equator, with a small portion of the Duschesne Peninsula extending across it. Acara has a mostly equatorial climate, with Monte Silva having a temperate climate.
