The It's One Banana Michael of Agalaesia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.99 billion Agalaesians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wee Britain. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Agalaesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,215 trillion Agalaors a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,032 Agalaors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Wee Britain Times is sold out, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agalaesia's national animal is the Frozen Banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Alliance of Magicians.

Agalaesia is ranked 67,684^th in the world and 469^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Developed, scoring 71.5 on the Human Development Index.
