The Environmentalists of Monterey Bay Aquarium is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Julie Packard with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.922 billion Monterey Bay Aquarists 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great Tide Pool. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Monterey Bay Aquariumian economy, worth an astonishing 10,161 trillion kelps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 339,584 kelps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is totally unknown. Monterey Bay Aquarium's national animal is the sea otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Animism.
Monterey Bay Aquarium is ranked 258th in the world and 1st in Monterey for Highest Food Quality, scoring 513.66 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
