The Colony of Aquarii 089 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 3.621 billion Aquarii 089ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Aquarii 089ian economy, worth 153 trillion stardusts a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,311 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquarii 089's national animal is the water-bearer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aquarii 089 is ranked 105,577th in the world and 5,667th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
