The Free Republic of Aaaaaa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President-In-Acting Sotas Beatinnen with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 19.959 billion Aaaaaans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Healthcare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The all-consuming Aaaaaan economy, worth a remarkable 2,203 trillion Aaaaaan Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 110,424 Aaaaaan Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, the giant 80-storey carving of President-In-Acting Sotas Beatinnen in Mount Rushless can be seen from space, concussed Northern Pintailball players cannot remember their lineup position, and rumor has it that President-In-Acting Sotas Beatinnen has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aaaaaa's national animal is the Northern Pintail, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aaaaaa is ranked 75,511^th in the world and 11^th in The Strategic and Economic Alliance for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,165.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
