The Commonwealth of AkvaVit is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 409 million AkvaVitian are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gezor Metroplex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.

The frighteningly efficient AkvaVitian economy, worth 41.6 trillion COAMS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 101,740 COAMS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,935 per year while the poor average 14,791, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and AkvaVit has designated Gezor Metroplex as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AkvaVit's national animal is the Gezor Blue Lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

AkvaVit is ranked 84,655^th in the world and 40^th in Aeternas for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,571.44 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
