The Grand Duchy of Akvarelusus the Great is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Konrad Elusus with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.679 billion Akvarelusus the Greatians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivory Tower. The average income tax rate is 28.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Akvarelusus the Greatian economy, worth 426 trillion Kazés a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 115,831 Kazés, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is said that an Akvarelusus the Greatian woman's work is never done, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and local councils have to call in dump trucks to clear parks of dinosaur droppings. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akvarelusus the Great's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oppertunism.

Akvarelusus the Great is ranked 216,575^th in the world and 714^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 28.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
