The State of Agathona is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.601 billion Agathonans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, moralistic, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Income tax is unheard of.

The strong Agathonan economy, worth 855 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,894 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Agathona in an international press conference, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and a government program is underway to revitalize Agathona's beaches. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Agathona's national animal is the deer.

Agathona is ranked 257,599^th in the world and 6^th in Liechtenstein for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
