The Grand Empire of Jagalonia is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Titan Corp with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.305 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, corporate 'hostile takeovers' now involve ICBMs and main battle tanks, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Jagalonia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the marc.

Jagalonia is ranked 1st in The Federation of Sovereign States and 817th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 16 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
