The United Federal Republic of Aquestia is a massive, devout nation, ruled by President Jack Ryan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.961 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedus. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government is spending billions of taxpayer Bulls to support the Book Publishing industry, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquestia's national animal is the Killer Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Bull.

Aquestia is ranked 521st in Europeia and 51,538th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 129 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
