The Republic of Aquarianius is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 254 million Aquarianiusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aquarianiusian economy, worth 15.5 trillion Aquarias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,025 Aquarias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquarianius's national animal is the Hammerhead Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Aquarianius is ranked 36,399^th in the world and 55^th in Astoria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,346.14 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
