The Commonwealth of AkvaVit is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 14 million AkvaVitian are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The thriving AkvaVitian economy, worth 1.11 trillion COAMS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 79,323 COAMS, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. AkvaVit's national animal is the Gezor Blue Lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

AkvaVit is ranked 167,770^th in the world and 72^nd in Aeternas for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,325.11 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
