The Province of Aquitania is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.473 billion Aquitanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Aquitanian economy, worth 624 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip 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 114,132 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Aquitania, and Aquitanian politicians are often described as having more style than substance. 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 98,844th in the world and 33rd in Equiterra for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 49.72 Effective Tax Rate.
