The Federal States of Aquyia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Franz Bastion with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.336 billion Aquyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jestas. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aquyian economy, worth 319 trillion Falsoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 136,655 Falsoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, aspiring authors begrudgingly help proofread issue submissions (Aquyia has found 2 easter eggs), and many aides in Franz Bastion's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquyia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aquyia is ranked 16,693^rd in the world and 490^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 292.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
