The Grand Duchy of Akvarelusus the Great is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Konrad Elusus with an iron fist, and notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.616 billion Akvarelusus the Greatians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivory Tower. The average income tax rate is 25.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Akvarelusus the Greatian economy, worth 428 trillion Kazés a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 118,598 Kazés, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is said that an Akvarelusus the Greatian woman's work is never done, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and local councils have to call in dump trucks to clear parks of dinosaur droppings. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Akvarelusus the Great's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oppertunism.

Akvarelusus the Great is ranked 126,614^th in the world and 386^th in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,492.92 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
