The Holy Violetist Kingdom of Aargovia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by König Christian I with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 11.38 billion Aargovians 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, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aarau. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aargovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,216 trillion Aargauer Frankens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,925 Aargauer Frankens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hackers post hourly updates on international summits, the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, monarchs only get custody of the royal crown on holidays and weekends, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aargovia's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Aargovia is ranked 50,480th in the world and 110th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,912.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
