The Democratic States of Aquanell is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by aqua with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.193 billion Aquans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charista. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Aquan economy, worth 793 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,747 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Aquanell to be bombproof, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Aquan Moonshine", the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquanell's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is none in particular.
Aquanell is ranked 3,694th in the world and 1st in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,648.58 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
