The Shizhu Caliphate of Aglrinia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Prophet Kudu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.359 billion Aglrinese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazahkbad. The average income tax rate is 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aglrinian economy, worth a remarkable 5,183 trillion Beijis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 160,191 Beijis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vacationing Aglrinese expect to be treated as royalty, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, and you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Aglrinia but at least the trains run on time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aglrinia's national animal is the Maned Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Aglrinia is ranked 240,135^th in the world and 2^nd in Auratus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
