The Federal Republic of Aoncarpa is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minister Fabioseb with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.528 billion Aoncarpans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arctic city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Aoncarpan economy, worth 203 trillion Aoncarpan pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 133,103 Aoncarpan pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence, illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, Aoncarpan-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and citizens who become homeless are immediately executed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aoncarpa's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aoncarpa is ranked 192,453^rd in the world and 8,617^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 42.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
