The Old Republic of Acquan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Eric Wilson with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 35.161 billion Acquanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, although Education and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cielo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The powerhouse Acquanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,820 trillion Platas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 137,106 Platas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 803,187 per year while the poor average 10,959, a ratio of 73.3 to 1.

Cruel and unusual punishments are being crowdsourced, the news is showing footage of Eric Wilson bullying an old man to the point of tears, churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Acquan's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Acquan is ranked 257,041^st in the world and 1^st in Desert Islands for Most Authoritarian, with 328.04 milliStalins.
