The Republic of Agonyland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 637 million Agonylandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Agonylandian economy, worth 75.7 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,912 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agonyland's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Agonyland is ranked 182,680^th in the world and 1,981^st in the Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 911.87 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
