The Rapture of Aqueon is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aquaman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.659 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, skateparks can be found in every city, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aqueon's national animal is the cylon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the cubit.

Aqueon is ranked 3,712th in the West Pacific and 84,610th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
