The Holy Kingdom of Agadar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.368 billion Agadarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunstanton. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Agadarian economy, worth a remarkable 4,143 trillion Agadarian guilders 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. 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 128,006 Agadarian guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, public nudity is compulsory, adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them, and citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agadar's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of Agadar.

Agadar is ranked 313,800th in the world and 155th in The Western Isles for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -11.89 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
