The Gif of Aqua Crying is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Aqua with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12.129 billion Aqua Cryingians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aqua Palace. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aqua Cryingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,085 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 89,482 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fattest folk in Aqua Crying look to be the happiest ones, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and coalition governments are essential to passing new laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aqua Crying's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.
