The Environmentalists of Monterey Bay Aquarium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Julie Packard with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.408 billion Monterey Bay Aquarists 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 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 10,781 trillion kelps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 343,278 kelps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. 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 180,216^th in the world and 1^st in Monterey for Most Conservative, scoring 51.58 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
