Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Aquamarine Island is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Wonderful President with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.332 billion Aquamarinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gunaj. The average income tax rate is 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Aquamarinian economy, worth 276 trillion Pirongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 118,583 Pirongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Wonderful President spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquamarine Island's national animal is the Eel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is B Maohijuu.

Aquamarine Island is ranked 208,679^th in the world and 6,907^th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -130.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
