The Commonwealth of AkvaVit is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 529 million AkvaVitian are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gezor Metroplex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.

The frighteningly efficient AkvaVitian economy, worth 53.8 trillion COAMS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,794 COAMS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,168 per year while the poor average 14,799, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and AkvaVit has designated Gezor Metroplex as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AkvaVit's national animal is the Gezor Blue Lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

AkvaVit is ranked 163,666^th in the world and 55^th in Aeternas for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,730.28 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
