The Free Oligarchical Spatula of Jagilki is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jagilki the Oligarch with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 4.279 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oligarchiton DC. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown. Jagilki's national animal is the Oligarchisaurus Rex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Oligarchical Spatula.

Jagilki is ranked 3,642nd in the South Pacific and 110,738th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
