Aquitania

The Province of Aquitania is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.926 billion Aquitanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Aquitanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,323 golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,476 per year while the poor average 22,733, a ratio of 21.6 to 1.

Trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, there's a bright dawn ahead for Aquitania, and the government forces Aquitanians to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquitania's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aquitania is ranked 156,051st in the world and 5th in Equiterra for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 569.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
