The Kingdom of Aquitanica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Archambaut IX with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.491 billion Aquitanians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Law & Order, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toulouse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse Occitan economy, worth 944 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 43,969 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,849 per year while the poor average 9,406, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Aquitanica has designated Toulouse as its capital city, King Archambaut IX has just been declared ruler of Aquitanica in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Aquitanica's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aquitanica's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Aquitanica is ranked 87,383rd in the world and 4th in Aquitaine for Largest Black Market, with 4.00 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
