The Empire of Aquiru is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by AquaPerson with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.685 billion Aquiruans 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 prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whale-O-Rama. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The powerhouse Aquiruan economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion aquis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 88,543 aquis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aquiru's national animal is the killer whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Aquiru is ranked 258,155^th in the world and 12^th in Redundant Realm of Redundancy for Most Primitive, scoring -179.83 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
