The Federal Republic of Aguacada is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 227 million Aguacadans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aguacadan economy, worth 9.11 trillion Aguacada Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,129 Aguacada Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aguacada's national animal is the Chupacabra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aguacada is ranked 72,057^th in the world and 806^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,005.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
