The Free Land of Acquaverde is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 7 million Acquaverdeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Acquaverdean economy, worth 349 billion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 49,911 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, classes are regularly interrupted by drunken children, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Acquaverde's national animal is the wolf.

Acquaverde is ranked 197,361^st in the world and 191^st in The Leftist Assembly for Rudest Citizens, with 40.75 insults per minute.
