The Federal Republic of Aoncarpa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Fabioseb with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.062 billion Aoncarpans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arctic city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aoncarpan economy, worth 412 trillion Aoncarpan pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 134,728 Aoncarpan pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 531,239 per year while the poor average 23,162, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

Public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Prime Minister Fabioseb's office, the government is lending a hand to private industry, and grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aoncarpa's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aoncarpa is ranked 218,337^th in the world and 8,077^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -177.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
