The Aquarian Queendom of Venulia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Venulia with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, frequent executions, and labour-free parental leave. The humorless, devout population of 7.02 billion Aquarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquina. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aquarian economy, worth 651 trillion Trans-Aquarian labour credits 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Retail. 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 92,792 Trans-Aquarian labour credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday, new religious sects are squashed immediately by the government, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, and a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venulia's national animal is the Seahorse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Venulianism.

Venulia is ranked 74,271^st in the world and 3^rd in Black Bear for Highest Average Incomes, with 92,792.78 Standard Monetary Units.
