The United States of BadAgenda is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kruse Daddy with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.53 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waffenville. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BadAgenda's national animal is the Venomous Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Methodist, and its currency is the Dong.

BadAgenda is ranked 3,398th in Lazarus and 97,707th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
