The Republic of Aquaticflapperia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Ara Macao with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.76 billion Aquaticflapperians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azhdarchidia. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aquaticflapperian economy, worth 519 trillion Aras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 109,173 Aras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Lord Ara Macao, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquaticflapperia's national animal is the Scarlet Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aquaticflapperia is ranked 6,676th in the world and 3rd in Alliance of Pkardia for Safest, scoring 125.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
