The PS2 Puppet of Aqualagoon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Shrub with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, lack of airports, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.205 billion Aqualagoonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florapolis. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Aqualagoonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,397 trillion Raindrops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 360,287 Raindrops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, calling out of the blue has become taboo, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and white privilege is a real thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Aqualagoon's national animal is the Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Food.
Aqualagoon is ranked 254,715th in the world and 9,738th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -19.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
