The Federal Republic of Aoncarpa is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minister Fabioseb with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.636 billion Aoncarpans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arctic City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aoncarpan economy, worth a remarkable 2,040 trillion Aoncarpan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 211,721 Aoncarpan Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 942,181 per year while the poor average 29,610, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in The North Pacific. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aoncarpa's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aoncarpa is ranked 19,959^th in the world and 567^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,155.22 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
