The Exceedingly Chill Locale of Aquarii is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Oracle with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.487 billion Aquariians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apollopolis. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aquariian economy, worth 185 trillion smooches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Book Publishing. Average income is 74,584 smooches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, political cartoons depicting The Oracle's face on an electric eel's buttocks are selling like hotcakes, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquarii's national animal is the electric eel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is veganism.

Aquarii is ranked 5,078th in the world and 102nd in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 131.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
