The Rogue Technocracy of Agudo Island is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Jose Agudo with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.493 billion techanistas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clara Luz. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Techanista economy, worth 172 trillion bitcredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 115,525 bitcredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and Agudo Island is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agudo Island's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular atheism.

Agudo Island is ranked 9,940th in the world and 78th in Refugia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
