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

The Republic of Aquaviva XII is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 10.466 billion Aquaviva XIIians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Aquaviva XIIian economy, worth 398 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,036 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquaviva XII's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Aquaviva XII is ranked 192,023^rd in the world and 1^st in The Democracy and Fascist Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,809.4 Standard Monetary Units.
